dp-now.com - Features - Printer reviews - Epson PictureMate "Epson's new £149 PictureMate Personal Photo Lab is a single-size (6x4 inches) ink-jet photo printer that promises fade-resistant colour photo prints for about 29p a go." Are photo printers a waste of money? This one gives you prints for 29p a go... others give you prints for abotut 40p a go - and that's excluding the initial cost for the printer (eg £149!) - plus you get prints that are 6x4 when all your digital photos would fit on 6x4.5 better. When you can get prints for 15p each from www.photobox.co.uk or 50prints for £5 from some places - why would anyone want to print their own photos at home? (it's not for speed, as this epson takes 2 minutes per photo)
