I just love the Epson PictureMate 260, I purchased it 4/21/2008 at J&R, since I got it I have printed 300 pictures, the print time is fast, and the colors in the pictures are bright and vivid, I am loving this printer, found out that there is compatible T5846 Inkjet Cartridge on the market for around $11 to $15. I used regular Staples 4 X 6 Glossy paper and you can?t tell the difference between the Epson 4 X 6. I would definitely recommend this printer

This is the dedicated 4 x 6 printer I've been looking for: fast, easy to use, with excellent picture quality. The photos look like I had a roll of film developed (without the wait). My other inkjet photos have faded over time and must be reprinted, but the finish on the Picturemate Dash/Zoom prints is water resistant and shiny like a film print--beautiful.

The unit has adjustments for red-eye, brightness, saturation, sharpness, rotating, zooming, cropping; you can do just about any editing you need for standard snapshots, including borderless or bordered prints, passport photos, contact sheets, wallet-sized photos, etc. A very versatile little machine. Of course, you can do your editing on the computer as well.

Save your big printer (and its spendy ink) for larger (fine art) prints; you'll use this little puppy all the time for standard 4 x 6 snaps to share with family and friends. Highly recommended!
