Epson PictureMate 500
6 Colour Inkjet Printer
Professional quality prints whenever you want them, wherever you are
Overview
With a maximum resolution of 5760 Optimised dpi (when connected to the PC) using Resolution Performance Management (RPM) technology, the Epson PictureMate 500 can produce ink droplets as small as 3pl. Playing a major part in the printer's professional quality print capabilities is its six-colour (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Photo Black, Red, Blue) pigment ink system, which delivers extremely smooth colour gradation and beautiful skin tones.

(NEW Display Permanence Ratings for Current Products in the 4 x 6 inch printer

Temperature, humidity and some atmospheric gases may also affect the rate of fading. The estimated lightfastness period does not indicate the colour changing or the durability of the paper itself. Epson recommends that your prints be stored in a photo album (or plastic photo storage box) in acid free, archival sleeves commonly available from most camera shops. |
