I was looking for a home printer that prints 4x6 prints so I don't have to squint at tiny photos of my son in albums (that I will eventually compile, I know, bad millenial mom) AND frame some of those awesome photos. I had an LG pocket photo printer, though worked well, was kinda pricey in terms of paper and definitely printed SMALL photos for my 34-year old ageing eyes. Yes, I wear glasses. Those tiny photos are good enough for tacking on to your office cubicle, but not really good for framing for the living room. The quality is also so-so. If you like Instagram filters, yes. But now that I'm trying to be more adult and responsible, I have outgrown its purpose.
So, I went on a hunt for a home printer that prints photos wirelessly from phones, that can print beyond credit card sized momentos (very specific). I do own an HP office printer. It is 5 years old and still works well. I do not want to bankrupt myself printing photos of my son through said printer, even with their ink subscription. Their app also don't work well with the phone. And because of how horrible printers are, I do not want to mess with buying another home office printer until mine dies. It's like rolling the dice, you won't know if the next one will be a bust. I focused my search on photo printers and narrowed it down to the Selphy and this gem. I can't believe that at 2022, when humans have made rovers to get to Mars, and made mRNA vaccines to fight a pandemic... we only have 2 sad options for this particular niche.
What I didn't like about the Selphy was it wasn't true 4x6 in size. I did not want to have any cropping errors or specific albums/frames not fitting the photos. Mostly, I didn't like the picture quality. I have seen how the Selphy performs since it's the most common printer used in wedding picture booths in my home country. Though good enough, it's not a vibrant and realistic as it should be. I also don't like the sides of the photos having "tear" uneven ends.
Enter this printer. Holy crap. My phone photos look so realistic. Coming from a simple Google Pixel 5a, unedited photos (apart from those edits the default Camera algorithm applied to balance exposure, etc) look NICE. Skin looks real. I WANT to frame the photos, which is what my goal was.
Setup was a breeze. Just remove all the plastic you see. Pop the ink in. Type your wifi info on the printer (OMG it worked on 1 try!). Install the app on your phone... and Viola! You are printing your photos.
From my phone, I can easily click "Share" to the app and do different layouts if I want to collage, or just print as is. It literally does all I want. And I can't believe this printer is so OLD, and no one has updated this thing. The app has been updated yes, but the hardware of this printer remains the same. Printers are lagging in innovation, but I guess this Epson doesn't need much improvement if it does what it needs to do. The ink and paper are affordable too. No more using "I have to go to CVS to pick up prints, UGH" as an excuse to procrastinate on printing photos of my son. I am now a TRUE mother. I have a photo of my son in my wallet, after almost 2 years of him being alive. Thank you, Epson PictureMate.

Great photo printer
This is a great photo printer...setup wifi was a little confusing but I was reading directions lol..but was actually really easy to do once I read directions...let ink dry before touching pictures..I think so far it's worth it but it will also depend on how many pictures I can print before I need a new cart... that's the downside to this..is that all 4 colors are in 1 cart...so far I've printed 5 pictures..
