Key Features

• Brilliant, Pro Quality Photos: The Micro Piezo technology of the PictureMate Dash delivers superior prints on glossy or matte photo paper with sharp, brilliant images; colors are vibrant, skin tones are true to life and every detail shines through.

• Fast Borderless Printing: Print true borderless 4" x 6" Photos in as fast as 37 seconds, or print multiple smaller images on a 4" x 6" sheet such as wallet size or passport photos.

• Direct Printing from Memory Cards, Cameras or Phones: The PictureMate Dash is compatible with popular digital camera memory cards, or connect to any PictBridge-enabled digital camera for direct photo printing. It is also compatible with USB flash drives and other mass storage devices so you can save photos to, and print photos from your favorite USB flash drives or external hard drives. Users can even print wirelessly from a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone, PDA or other device with an optional Bluetooth photo print adapter for Epson.
