Epson PictureMate 500
Outstanding and durable photo prints
With a maximum resolution of 5760 Optimised dpi (when connected to the PC) using Resolution Performance Management (RPM) technology, the Epson PictureMate 500 generates outstanding quality photo prints using ink droplets as tiny as 3pl. Then, with its six-colour (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Photo Black, Red, and Blue) pigment ink system, you'll have photos with extremely smooth colour gradation and beautiful skin tones.
Drink spills and sticky fingers need no longer have a devastating effect on your photos. 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 many 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.
