Summary

A digital camera isn’t a PC peripheral, so why should you have to connect to a computer to print photos?  Thanks to Epson and other suppliers with portable printers, you don’t.  These standalone printers come with memory card and USB slots.  Plug in the camera or a card, and you’ve got your own mini photofinishing shop in any room with an AC outlet.  Or, in the case of the Epson, buy an optional rechargeable battery, and you can print anywhere.

 

When PictureMate hit the market a couple of years ago, its cute lunch pail design sent the message that a printer could travel.  The only thing missing was a photo viewer so that you could see the images you were selecting.  Epson corrected the flaw in the latest version of PictureMate
