Reviews of the Epson PictureMate Dash PM260

CNET Review
The Good: Tons of features; fast with 4x6 prints; USB port can be used to connect PictBridge devices, as well as flash drives, hard drives, and even USB CD/DVD burners for printing or transferring images; reasonable per-print costs; large LCD with lots of viewing options; easy to use.
The Bad: Disappointing print quality.
The Bottom Line: The Epson PictureMate Dash printer is impressive in every way except for print quality.
