Epson (www.epson.com) has released the PictureMate Charm, a new entry in its photo printer line. It’s compact and portable and can print 4 x 6 inch photos with true-to-life skin tones, detail and sharpness in as fast as 37 seconds, according to Stacey Tieu, associate product manager, Consumer Ink Jets, Epson America.
The true-to-life prints last up to four times longer than traditional, film-processed photos, resisting fading up to 96 years under glass and over 200 years in dark album storage, he adds. The PictureMate Charm offers one-touch printing with or without a computer. It features a 2.5-inch LCD screen to view, crop and print photos, as well as remove red eye and select photo layouts and color tones such as black and white, sepia or color.
PictureMate Charm also prints from memory cards with built-in card slots, and prints wirelessly from PDAs and digital camera cell phones with an optional Bluetooth adapter. It prints on glossy and matte paper with Epson’s PictureMate Print Packs, which include ink and either 150 sheets of 4 x6 inch glossy paper or 100 sheets of 4 x 6 inch matte paper.
In addition, an optional, rechargeable battery is available for portability to print photos outdoors or on the road. The PictureMate Charm will be available on Oct. 20 for US$149.99.
