Epson PictureMate Zoom PM 290 Specifications
The Epson PictureMate Zoom PM 290 is one of the best choices for photography fans who may need to be more professional in their passion. On one hand, it is small and lightweight, serving its sole purpose of printing 4×6-inch photos without needing extra attention. On the other hand, it is unique due to the relatively low price and burning CDs with a built-in burner, perfect for additional copies or presents. Such uniqueness distinguishes the PM 290 from its competitors and appears as its key selling point, since otherwise, it is more or less the same as the other similar photo printers.
The above conclusion is due to PM 290’s advantages and minor flaws. Among them is the device’s portability. However, personal experience has proved that it is not as important as it might look. It becomes crucial when the owner is too lazy to reconnect their devices to the computer through one of the available USB ports. The printing options are another advantage of the device, and in this respect, it is presumably better than some related models lacking connectivity through a computer. As for the quality, it is flawless, but with some remarkable disadvantages. One of them is the printing speed, which is quite average and, thus, might become the reason for potential dissatisfaction. However, because it is not a device meant to be used professionally, the absence of urgent printouts makes it a pretty acceptable minor flaw.
The Epson PictureMate Zoom PM 290 is one of the best choices for the so-called snapshot photo printers. Some of its rivals may be better due to their printing speed, while others will lose due to this device’s advantages. Some models are better due to their advanced connectivity options, such as wireless printing. However, PM 290 will be the right choice for users who prefer simple photo printers that still eject the highest quality photographs possible.
