Designed to make visits to high-street photo labs a thing of the past, the PictureMate 500 is a portable photo printer that offers an integrated 2.4in. colour LCD screen (320x240 pixels), relatively fast print speeds (Epson claims 40 per cent faster than the original PictureMate) and an optional battery for improved portability. Its output quality is outstanding and it's also a snap to use - even your parents should be able to get high-quality prints from a digital camera!"</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/epson.jpg" /><br /><br />While I've always thought this printer looked like a lunch-box with the integrate handle, it actually looks to be a pretty good photo printer, perfect for those who are afraid of the PC. In fact, I could envision giving this to a user and not even telling them that they could hook it up to a computer since they can do everything they need to do without one.
