EPSON PICTUREMATE PM 245 | Print studio quality 4x6 photos instantly!

Although regular inkjet printers and multifunction devices can also print 4x6 photos, portable photo printers are all about convenience and quality. The newly launched Epson PictureMate PM 245 makes printing 4x6 photos a breeze. Weighing in at 2.3 kg, it’s quite portable and not too heavy to carry around. The device is all-white and the entire shell has a matte finish except the lid which has a glossy fi nish. Opening the lid reveals the vertical paper feed, control panel and a 2.5-inch tilting LCD which displays the user interface. There’s a tiny door in the front that doubles as an output tray when opened. Memory card slots supporting a host of card formats that include SD/MMC, xD, Memory Stick (MS), and Compact Flash are located behind the door. On loading a memory card, the printer instantly reads the contents and displays thumbnails of all the images on the card. The menu navigation is very simple and a 2-line description for every option you select makes operation very easy. From the time you press the Print button, it takes around 45 seconds to print a borderless 4x6-inch photo. The print quality is very good with excellent reproduction of details and good contrast. The Epson Picture Pack, which includes a cartridge and 150 sheets costs Rs 1,514. So the cost per print translates to Rs 10. If you want studio quality prints in an instant, the PM 245 is a good investment.
