I finally got mine set up. Love the picture quality, I've done quick prints from my phone and laptop.
Is there a way to print photos with borders? From an iphone? I'm guessing from my laptop I could add a border in photoshop if needed.

I'm guessing from my laptop I could add a border in photoshop if needed. I use the app Print to size. You can make the photo/border any size you want. It works great, and you can add more than one photo to the 4x6 canvas. I also use Pic Stitch. You can resize the border in this app as well. I also use this photo paper from Staples, and the prints look lab quality! www.staples.com/Staples-Photo-Supreme-Paper-4-x-6-Satin-100-Pack/product_564119 |

I'm guessing from my laptop I could add a border in photoshop if needed. The Epson app, Creative Print, has the option to print with/without borders. I print from my iPhone to the Epson PM this way. When you're in the app (Collage section) on the layout selection screen, there are buttons along the bottom that toggle between border layouts, no border layouts and pre-designed layouts. HTH!  |

Was hoping to take the Vicki Boutin photo class first. |

Where has this printer been my whole life?!? I’ve printed more pictures today than I have in months. So easy. I downloaded the Epson creative app - that worked pretty well. I have pic frame but when I printed the photo the border was gone. I’ll check out the other recommendations too.
Now I want some 5x7 paper too.

I really want to buy this printer once we move. I don't have room for it now.

My only issue with the epson creative app is I can’t find a way to acces saved collages or download collages. Therefore if you want to make a divided picture ( like 2 things ) then load that into another collage slot later you can’t because there is no way to access that to use it in a larger collage. Otherwise this app is perfect. If they added that feature I could get rid of the PL app forever. |

Have any of you stamped directly on the pictures using the Staples photo paper? I don't like to use Staz On because it stains the stamps so much even when I clean them immediately and I'm looking for a cheaper photo paper that I can use stamps on after I print the photo on the paper.

Oooohh...thanks for linking that bag! I take my PM-400 to my annual multi-day crop, but usually just pack it back into the original box. This would be much cuter and more space efficient. |

I took about 1000 pictures. I was able to put several on a sheet amd printed 250 pictures. It was such an amazing feeling amd I’m slowly working thru them. I love this little printer!!! |

I am making notes of the paper and apps that everyone uses with this printer. I've decided to get a photo printer and finally narrowed down the choices to this one after reading multiple threads here and various other reviews. Now I am just waiting for it to go on sale a bit as I've read that it often does - of course since I've been watching it's been full price or very close to full price everywhere.

Surprised it wasn’t marked down on Prime Day. |
