Epson Picturemate Pm245 Driver Downloads– The Portable 4×6 Photo Printer offers the convenience of instant photo printing-no need to go to the nearest photo studio and wait for half an hour or more to print. Although regular inkjet printers and multifunction devices that cost much less are also able to print photos 4×6, portable photo printers are all about comfort and quality. With this small lunch box printer, you do not need a PC to print photos, plus they can also use battery packs as an alternative source of electricity, while you are on the go. One such printer is the newly launched Epson PictureMate PM 245, which makes printing 4×6 photo winds.
Epson Picturemate Pm245 Design and Features
Sporting a boxy design and grip to carry, EPSON PM 245 will remind you of a small picnic basket. Weighing in at 2.3 kg, it was quite portable and not too heavy to carry around. The device is all-white and the whole shell has a matte finish, except for the lid, which has a shiny finish. Open lid reveals vertical paper feed, control Panel and 2.5-inch tilt LCD Display user interface. There is a small door on the front that doubles as the output tray when opened. Memory card slots that support a number of card formats that include SD/MMC, xD, Memory Stick (MS), and Compact Flash are located behind the door. You can print photos directly even from other types of memory cards, such as microSD, MS Duo, and MiniSD, but you must use an adapter compatible with the slots on the printer.
PM 245 also comes with a Port PictBridge on the back that supports photo printing directly from digital cameras. The rear Panel also has compartments for the battery pack (optional accessory) and 4-color ink cartridges. The cartridge door has a magnetic lock and a cartridge slide in and gets locked in place by the plastic lever. The printer pulls power from the adapter 24 V and connects to the PC via the USB interface.
Epson Picturemate Pm245 User interface
On inserting the memory card into the slot, the printer directly reads the contents and displays thumbnails of all images on the card. Professionals who just shoot RAW will be disappointed, but this device is for the general audience and any digital camera supports JPEG format. The printer’s user interface is very intuitive and doesn’t take more than a few minutes to learn all the functions. The display button switches between the image layout on the screen. You can choose from individual thumbnails, Filmstrip views and some thumbnails. The left and right buttons are meant to navigate through menus and photos, and the OK button selects which option or photo is being highlighted. The function of the Stop and print buttons is quite clear.
The menu button brings up the interface’s main menu, which has functions for selecting photos, adjusting print settings, printer maintenance, and help. With the Select Photo function, you can select all the photos on the memory card or select the photos that were shot on a specific date. Once the print settings are set, they will apply to all images you print. But you can specify the number of copies you want to print from each photo.
The Utility part has some interesting functions. You can print the proof sheet with thumbnails of all photos on a single 4×6 inch sheet. There is also a Custom ID print function, which is useful for printing multiple ID photos on a single sheet. It is very useful to print passport size photo and photo ID for Visa. You can manually specify the height and width of the photo ID (in mm or inches) and then crop the photo you want to print, but you can not zoom in.
The navigation menu is very simple and a 2-line description for each option you choose makes the operation very easy. The Help section has a quick guide, which explains how to insert/remove a memory card and use a memory card adapter, load paper and replace the cartridge. The Print quality enhancing section is like a troubleshooting guide that talks about what you should do when you get faint and blurry results or if the colors are incorrect.
Epson Picturemate Pm245 Performance
From the moment you press the Print button, it takes about 45 seconds to print a 4×6 inch photo indefinitely. The print quality is excellent with excellent reproduction of detail and good contrast. By default, the Enhance option is enabled because the contrast and colour saturation are slightly pushed for vivid results. With no enhancements, the photo looks a bit pale.
Although the photos look good, the colors you see in the prints are slightly distorted from what you see on the screen. It may be worrying about those who are thorough about accurate color reproduction, but they do not see images on the screen will find amazing results.
Epson Picturemate Pm245 Verdict
The Epson PictureMate PM 245 costs INR10, 999 and Epson Picture Pack, which includes a cartridge and 150 sheet costs INR1, 514. So the cost per print is translated to INR10. On the other hand, the Canon Selphy CP800, which is much smaller and weighs under a kilo, for INR5, 295. Using the dye sublimation printing technology and cost per print is slightly more expensive at INR 11.5. The advantages you get are the more compact features and lightweight design, support for printing from a USB flash drive and Bluetooth printing wireless support. The Canon Selphy CP800 is every day Bang that is better for your money half price. It would be nice, if PM 245 was priced between INR7 to INR8.
