High quality photo printers are extensively needed and used in many professional and commercial applications. The demand for high quality photo printing is higher than ever as consumers have noted the fact that printing costs have become cheaper than ever owing to fact that the new era of photo printers take up fewer resources and deliver professional quality prints which is the final end requirement. However, there is also a market for smaller printers, which print different sizes of images. These printers are used in a lot of homes and small photolabs for quick printing of photos. Epson recently launched Epson PictureMate PM 520, and we had a chance to review the photo printer.
Sucessor of the PictureMate PM520, the new Epson PictureMate PM 520 is a compact printer. The PictureMate PM520 can produce prints having resolution as high as 5,760x1,440 dpi. PictureMate PM 520 supports A5, A6, 9 x 13 cm (3.5 x 5 in), 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 in), 13 x 18 cm (5 x 7 in), 16:9 wide paper sizes with a maximum paper size of 136 x 420 mm. For connectivity, the PM520 offers a 2.7-inch colour LCD, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct and SD Card.
Having a box-like design, the printer weighs 2.3kg, and is relatively light to hold. It comes with a handle for carrying, and the entire body has a matte finish. There is a lid on top of the priner, which opens up as an input tray to reveal a tilt able panel, with a 2.7-inch colour LCD screen and multiple keys including Power, Home, 4-way direction keys, OK, +, -, Back, Reset and Input.
