Epson PictureMate 500

Quick view

The Epson PictureMate 500 is a compact, dedicated 4x6 inch photo printer designed for fast and high-quality photo prints directly from memory cards or computers. It employs Epson's Micro Piezo print technology to produce vibrant, fade-resistant images with high color accuracy. The printer supports multiple memory card formats including SD, SDHC, Memory Stick, and CompactFlash, allowing direct photo printing without a PC. It features a built-in LCD screen for photo preview and selection before printing, enhancing user convenience. Connectivity is available via USB 2.0 enabling quick data transfer and compatibility with Windows and Mac OS systems. The device uses a four-color Claria Photo Ink system optimized for photographic prints, delivering sharp and smudge-resistant results with a print speed of approximately 45 seconds per 4x6 inch photo.

The compact size makes the PictureMate 500 highly portable and suitable for home or small office use. It provides dedicated photo printing with high resolution at 5760 x 1440 optimized dpi, ensuring detailed image quality. The direct memory card printing feature removes the need for a computer, simplifying the printing workflow. Integration of an LCD screen allows easy photo selection and preview, improving user experience. Using Claria Photo Inks ensures longevity and vivid colors in printed photos. The printer operates quietly and efficiently with minimal setup time.

The PictureMate 500 is designed exclusively for 4x6 inch photo printing, lacking support for larger paper sizes or document printing, limiting its versatility. It does not provide wireless connectivity options such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, requiring a physical USB connection. The printer’s ink cartridge system, while efficient for photos, can be costly over extended use. The print speed, although rapid for 4x6 photos, may be slower in batch printing scenarios. It lacks features like duplex printing or borderless printing beyond standard photo sizes. Additionally, Epson has discontinued the production and support of this model, potentially limiting availability of consumables and technical service.
