My PictureMate was delivered yesterday and I love it. Had a little trouble getting it setup. Our internet is horrible and I couldn’t get it set up wireless, but I did get it connected to the laptop and can print that way. I wasn’t able to order any photo paper and it only comes with 5 sheets of paper, but I had some old HP photo paper that works. The Epson paper is thicker and better quality, but the HP is fine for now. I love being able to print on demand. If anyone has any PictureMate tips and tricks please share.

I also had issues with my wireless but then I did something and it worked. I do not remember what I did though.
I got an extra ink
I also bought. Bunch of Epson paper when epson had their half price sale, I guess I should put it away it’s still quarantining in the foyer.
I didn’t like my first 2 prints, don’t know what I did wrong but then it was printing nicely

I got mine too. I printed a picture of some pieces at stained glass museum and they were amazing. Happy I got it! My friend uses the app Epson Creative for collages and that's my next step.

Didn’t some people wrap an empty box around Christmas time so they could play with their new toys right away? 😁 |

I love the fact that I've gone as long as a year without printing a photo and it works like a charm without the hassle of having to run a cleaning cycle or having dried up ink. The previous picturemates were a nightmare if you didn't regularly print.

Do y'all have the 400, or the personal printer?

The one you listed as the personal one is just a previous model of the Picturemate. |

Apparently I didn’t have to, but if I don’t wait then my husband will want his Father’s Day present and the cats haven’t shopped for him yet!😺😺😺 |

Where did you ladies order from? Amazon? I saw Epson had it on sale, but they were out of stock.

My new canon printer to set up on wireless I had to make a 2.4 GHz channel as it would not connect to the 5 GHz channel on wifi router. Check that out.

Congrats! It’s the best scrappy investment I have ever made, hands down./
I use the Photoshop Express app on my iPhone to create collages, since I add lots of tiny photos to my travelers notebook-style journals. PSE is a little complicated to learn, but it’s worth it because it has lots of great editing and sizing features. I print anywhere from 2 to 8 photos on a 4x6 paper. I discovered some old 8-1/2 x 11 packs of photo paper in my stash and cut it up into 4x6. Worked out great.
Enjoy your new toy!

Darn, I missed it again!! Amazon only shows $200+ It's back! I just bought one as a gift at $119. Go! No!! I can't see it? Maybe it happens when I am sleeping (I'm on the west coast). By the time I get to Amazon, no great deal  I kept checking yesterday, last night, this morning and NADA. I come here and see and it was on sale again. Unless I am doing something wrong? I just search for a Picturemate and then I go to SEE ALL BUYING OPTIONS. Is that how everyone is finding them? |
