Epson Stylus Picture Mate 500 Printer

Epson Stylus Picture Mate 500 Printer

Beautiful Photo Quality
With a maximum resolution of 5760 Optimised dpi (when connected to the PC) using Resolution Performance Management (RPM) technology, the Epson PictureMate 500 can produce ink droplets as small as 3pl. Playing a major part in the printer’s professional quality print capabilities is its six-colour (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Photo Black, Red, Blue) pigment ink system, which delivers extremely smooth colour gradation and beautiful skin tones. Building even further on the Epson PictureMate 500’s professional quality photo printing is its ability to produce beautiful True BorderFree™** edge-to-edge or classic border photos using a variety of tonal effects, such as black-and-white or sepia.

Easy Connection
The Epson PictureMate 500 incorporates a wealth of features designed to make printing images from cameras, computers and other devices simple, straightforward and fast. With support for all major memory card formats currently available, all that’s required is to insert the memory card / stick into the appropriate slot, followed by a single press of the built-in Print button. Your image files can then be viewed using the printer’s 2.4-inch colour LCD screen and printed when and where you want them. You can even access your photographs direct from PictBridge and USB Direct Print-enabled cameras or you can attach the optional Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter and connect wireless devices such as a mobile phone, PDA or notebook computer. For direct-to-PC connections, the Epson PictureMate 500 features broad support for Windows® and Macintosh® operating systems.

Affordability and Choice

With the Epson PictureMate 500, creating beautiful photo prints is more than quick and easy – it’s incredibly affordable. In stark contrast to a traditional photo lab that prints the entire roll of film, it’s your choice which photos and quantities are printed. Another great feature of the Epson PictureMate 500 is its specially designed PicturePack, which includes a six-colour photo cartridge and a pack of Genuine Epson 4x6-inch PictureMate Photo Paper. A helpful and economical starting point for your Epson PictureMate 500 photo printing.

Durable Printing
Drink spills and sticky fingers need no longer have a devastating effect on your photos. With its pigment ink system, the Epson PictureMate 500 has been designed to print photographs that have high levels of resistance to water and smudging – photographs that can withstand the rigours of constant handling and exposure to moisture. Your photos will also retain their vibrant colours for generations to come, remaining resistant to the damaging effects of light for over 104* years; and even longer when displayed in a glass frame or kept in photo albums.

Portability Power
Definitely one of the Epson PictureMate 500’s great features is its true portability. By taking advantage of the option to use a compatible, rechargeable Li-Ion battery (not included), the Epson PictureMate 500 can provide you with on-the-spot beautifully printed photographs, whether you’re sitting in your loungeroom, holidaying in a houseboat or even camping in the bush.
