Customer Review: Great portable printer!
This is my first portable photo printer and I really love it. Allows me to print photos for my friends anytime. I usually use it with my macbook pro via iphoto. I normally have to put the brightness setting to highest in iphoto to get the same exposure as on my computer screen. Prints are sharp and colors are saturated with natural-looking skin tones. Really photo lab quality. Only thing I think that would make this better is if it also ran on batteries which would make it a really print-anywhere-anytime machine. Anyway, high marks for this little printer!
Customer Review: Excellent…
This is my 4th “CP” Printer from Canon. I don’t know why I keep upgrading because I don’t need to. This one is the fastest “CP” Printer yet. I have 2 complaints…

1. They took away the retractable usb cord.
2. No battery support.

Luckily I still have my CP-710 for portability. I use the CP-760 for my desktop machine. I love the new speed, the larger display screen and design of the 760. It still produces great prints so I would rate this printer from a scale of 1 to 10 an 8.5 because of the 2 reasons I mentioned earlier.

Technology Overview

DURABrite Ultra pigment ink
The Epson C88+ uses DURABrite Ultra ink, a revolutionary, pigment-based ink that delivers superior image quality for all kinds of projects.

Beautiful
With revolutionary DURABrite Ultra ink, users can achieve remarkable results on glossy photo paper, matte paper and even plain copy paper. With such exceptional quality and versatility, DURABrite Ultra ink offers the ideal solution for nearly any printing project, from high quality enlargements to everyday text and graphics. Double-sided prints look great because the ink will not bleed through. And, when you use Epson Premium Presentation Paper Double-sided Matte, you can make your own professional-looking brochures.

Durable

Smudge resistant
Like all Epson ink, DURABrite Ultra features a quick-drying formula that enables you to touch documents and photos right after printing–without any messy smudging. With worry-free handling, you can share prints immediately, unlike those printed with some competitive inks that smudge easily and take several minutes to dry.

Fade resistant
The special formulation of DURABrite Ultra ink also offers fade resistant properties that exceed those of photo lab prints, as well as those printed on many competitive products. In fact, with this remarkable ink, photos can resist fading up to 100 years!2

Water resistant
Your prints will be water resistant on all supported papers (even plain paper!). Because DURABrite Ultra ink is pigment-based, ink particles will not dissolve if they come into contact with water. So, prints resist smearing or accidental damage by spills or moisture.

Paper handling capacity
The Epson C88+ has a high-capacity, 120-sheet input tray that holds various paper sizes, up to 8.5″ x 14″.

Connectivity
The printer can be connected to multiple computers using its built-in USB and parallel ports. Plus, it can switch between ports automatically. The Epson C88+ can also be connected to different platforms simultaneously, including Macintosh and Windows-based systems.

1. Pages per minute (ppm) speed measured after first page, based on black and color text patterns in Draft Mode on plain paper. Additional print time will vary based on system configuration, software application and page complexity. See www.epson.com/printspeed for more information about print speed.
2. Fade resistance rating is based on accelerated testing of prints on specialty media, displayed indoors under glass or UV filter. Actual print stability will vary according to media, printed image, display conditions, light intensity, humidity and atmospheric conditions. Epson does not guarantee longevity of prints. For maximum print life, display all prints under glass or UV filter or properly store them. Visit www.wilhelm-research.com for the latest information.

PictureMate dash printer, paper and ink cartridge, power supply, quick start guide, printer manual, and CD-ROM (printer drivers, ArcSoft PhotoImpression 5).
Customer Review: I love the layout options
I recently purchased the Epson Picture Mate (Dash 260). I do a lot of scrapbooking and am thrilled at the variety of sizes of prints available. The Jumbo wallet is terrific, especially if I want to group a series of pics on one page. They are small enough to fit several on a page, but large enough to see lots of detail. The color and quality that the Picture Mate produces are excellent. Each time I use it, I discover more options that I like, but hadn’t known were available. One of the best attributes is the fact that if you want several prints on one 4X6 sheet, they don’t have to be duplicates of the same picture. So each 3X4 picture cost only half of the price of a 4X6 print, etc.. It is very portable, (I recommend purchasing the caseEpson - Carrying case)so I have it with me when I travel to Scrapbooking functions.Epson PictureMate Personal Photo Printer
Customer Review: not so good
I am a computer tech and I could not get it to work right. It would print portions of a photo or small version of a picture. I tried all the opinions. Very displeased

Customer Review: Specified product dimensions are NOT correct
Be aware that the dimensions of this printer are not as advertised.

In the Product Features it says “Dimensions: 11.9 x 6.3 x 17.5 in. (WxHxD)”, and in the Technical Details it says “Dimensions: 17.5 x 11.9 x 6.3 inches (W x H x D)”. In fact this printer is neither.

The correct dimensions are 17.5 x 6.3 x 11.9 (width x height x depth). So it’s about a foot and a half wide, six inches high, and a foot deep.

The ip90v, my laptop, and both power supplies fit nicely in a laptop case. I used it as my carry-on luggage to South Africa. The printer exceeded my expectation in speed, ease of use and portability. Dual voltage made it more convenient to use with 240 volts in Africa.
Customer Review: Nice portable printer
I bought this printer to travel with and the size was perfect to fit in with a laptop in a travel bag. The printing was high quality for the first year. Also it fed pretty quickly for such a small printer. Unfortunately the roller stopped feeding paper after about a year of use. This has been a common problem I’ve seen with some of these smaller printers and I guess they are just not made to last. “BUY NOW”

Customer Review: Great features, but not sturdy or reliable
I’ve owned a number of HP printers, and I’ve loved every one but this one. The biggest problem is constant carriage jams (usually easily fixed by pushing the OK button), and fairly frequent paper jams. The top of the machine is poorly aligned, and I have to fiddle with it to close it every time I open it to deal with those carriage and paper jams. When it prints, the printing is of good quality.

Printing envelopes is a real hassle, and the envelopes jam frequently - my old HP printer did envelopes like a charm. The scanner and fax functions work well, and it’s nice to have a network connection for this all-in-one.

I have the impression the newer HP printers are made much more cheaply than the old ones were, because I’m starting to have problems with newer HP printers at work.

I own HP stock and I hate to say this, but the most recent printers I’ve bought have been from Canon.

Customer Review: Under $100 for an all-in-one that can do wireless!
The HP Officejet 6310 has everything I want in an all-in-one including the ability to connect to my home office wireless network; hooking up an ethernet cable to my wireless router. Ink costs are on par with other HP deskjet models I’ve owned. (I tend to put the printer settings on fast draft so that I use less ink, but the small tanks that ship with this model were a bit of disappointment as I think I’ll be lucky to get 200 text pages out of them before replacement.) Replacement costs for both tanks is about $40.

The unit is compact and seems to be well built. Drivers installed easily on two XP Home machines, however I needed to go to hp.com to download a software/driver suite for Vista (64-bit), as the CD that shipped with it was not adequate. I used a network connection INSTEAD of a USB connection (don’t use both…). Setup time for the printer and all three computers was about an hour. (Mainly because of the time it took to get the drivers on the machines.)

The 6310 can print or copy without the computer being on. A nice feature. It also seems very fast and quiet compared to my deskjet. Scans are clean and clear, as are the copies. The fax setup was also quick and easy. If you have an answering machine set it to 4 rings…the fax picks up on the 6th!

For under $100… I don’t think you can go wrong for a home office or dorm room. “BUY NOW”

The USB 2.0 interface enables the fastest possible image transfers and scanning speeds.

Customer Review: Paper Jam after 10 months!
After 10 months of gentle use, doing everything the manual stipulated, the paper will not feed correctly through the roller, skewing constantly to the right. This renders the machine useless.
I had no problems with the machine before, and have not used any medium beside 24lb. inkjet paper.
Canon tech support could not solve the problem and is sending a replacement because the machine is under warranty. I worry that this is a basic design defect in the MP470, and my replacement”dream printer” will also have a short life. Anyone else have a similar problem? “BUY NOW”
