I am a professional photographer that occasionally incorporates instant gratification to my shoots like family reunions. This little printer does good work (good enough that I decided to frame and sell some of my nature prints). I was taken aback by the initial lack of quality out of the box with the original (sample) ink cartridge. Once I got a real one in place the prints are really quite amazing.

Nice but limited in what you can do
Most disappointing feature is the inability to crop the photos. Have an earlier Epsom printer in my other studio and it enables one to zoom in and crop photos. Print quality is very good....Read complete review

If you own a digital camera you would be crazy not to own this printer. Outstanding print quality in a small package. No need to use a computer to make nice 4x6 prints. Great price and great product.

Comments about Epson PM225 PictureMate Charm Compact Photo Printer:
Use for printing 4x6 photos. Not worried that is the only size it can print. I bought it to print proofs, 4x6's for albums, desktop frames etc. EASY to use (no computer req'd), great clarity and color, especially face tones.
The optional battery is very convenient, we use it at the kitchen island and don't have to worry about a cord. We have taken the Charm to birthday parties as well and print copies right then and there for family. The only improvement I would recommend is a slightly larger, standard screen. For me, the Picturemate Show's LCD screen is too large.

Comments about Epson PM225 PictureMate Charm Compact Photo Printer:
Our family enjoys sending photographs from our actual vacation place to relatives. This portable unit travels conveniently with us and the photo quality is superb. The photo cartridge is easy to install and I like the option of receiving the photo paper with the cartridge (print pack). Overall the Epson Picture Mate Charm Printer is easy and excellent!

Comments about Epson PM225 PictureMate Charm Compact Photo Printer:
EPSON PICTUREMATE, IS EASY TO SETUP, ONE INK CARTRIDGE TO LOAD, ADD SOME PAPER, THATS IT, I DID NOT EVEN READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. WHILE LCD SCREEN IS A LITTLE TOO SMALL,IT IS ONLY NEEDED TO SEE WHICH IMAGE YOU WANT TO PRINT---THE QUALITY OF THE 4X6 PRINTS ARE ON PAR WITH A ONE HOUR PHOTO LAB. PRINTS ARE QUICK, WITH LITTLE OR NO ADUJSTMENTS ----I HAVE VERY HIGH STANDARDS, THE PRINTS FROM THE PICTUREMATE MEETS THEM.

Comments about Epson PM225 PictureMate Charm Compact Photo Printer:
Use the Epson printer for family and garden photos. The print quality is so outstanding we were amazed. It is easy to use and prints the photo you want rather than the print the other brand printers wants to print.
The setup was very easy. Menu items easy to use such as red eye removal.
