 Best new toy I've gotten in a long time December 16, 2007

Had to buy a photo printer on very short notice without the usual amount of research. Was attracted to this one because it's a dedicated photo printer and it uses an all-in-one cartridge. The other printers I considered required either special photo cartridges or multiple color cartridges to get photo-quality results. There's nothing that irks me more than the price of ink, and I didn't want to be continually buying replacements. This Epson promises 150 pictures from a $35 cartridge and will prorate the cost of the cartridge if you don't get them all. As for the photos, I'm astounded at the quality and color correctness. The results surpass most photo labs I've used. I decided to do some post-purchase research and found that this printer is the only one to rate superior on a popular electronics rating site. I agree ... it does an amazing job.
 Beautiful pictures, but poor value February 9, 2008

The photos printed on this paper look really great. They look just as good as something I would have done professionally for a standard 4x6. However, the amount of toner in these cartridges doesn't appear to be anywhere near what they are promising. I got the printer for Christmas (it comes with a cartridge), along with this ink/paper replacement pack. I have printed exactly 102 photos, and have gone through both the starter ink cartridge that came with the printer, as well as the replacement ink cartridge. Now I am left with about fifty pieces of paper and no way to print on them. I am not printing anything unusual (just a bunch of photos of our kids), nor were the photos taken at a very high resolution (5M - not sure if that matters).
So, that would make the cost of printing each photo about $0.38-.40/each, and that doesn't include the cost of the printer itself! I love the convenience of being able to easily print photos at home, but it comes at a high price when you can get it done online or at a local retailer's for $0.12-.20/print. I guess that's why they can afford to charge so little for the printer.
 Nice, but as advertised, it only does 4x6 prints December 4, 2007

For those of you doing holiday photo cards, something to keep in mind is that this printer does not do 4x8, it only does 4x6 - which seems kind of strange...from my uneducated view it would seem pretty simple to let the printer print another couple of inches. Other than that, it is fast - about three to four times faster than my HP Photosmart 3300. The Epson also produced a noticeably nicer picture that the HP; using the same HP photo paper in both printers. Whether connected to a PC(WinXP), Mac(OSX10.4) or directly from an SD, printing was painless. As long as you go in with the realization that this is very much a single purpose printer, you should enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine. -1 star 'cause I believe it should do 4x8 as well.
Couldn't ask for more! December 14, 2007

Amazing Quality! Brilliant Color, and Fast! January 5, 2008

I recently purchased a Nikon D40 camera and I have been researching the best 4x6 photo printer to buy. After much research, I decided on the Epson Picturemate Dash. I have to say that I am so impressed, I have already showed and demonstrated it to 3 people and they immediately ordered one for themselves.
The printer accepts any memory stick, USB thumb drive, direct connection to camera and displays all photos on its built in LCD screen. The photo paper and ink come in a pack and yield 150 photos which comes out to about $.23 per photo. Pictures print amazingly fast...in less than 15 seconds.
The quality of the prints in most cases surpassed the labs that I go to. If you love gadgets, have a passion for great photos, you will be so happy you bought this printer!
