Epson Picturemate PM 520
Asian Photography|December 2017

High quality photo printers are extensively needed and used in many professional and commercial applications. The demand for high quality photo printing is higher than ever as consumers have noted the fact that printing costs have become cheaper than ever owing to fact that the new era of photo printers take up fewer resources and deliver professional quality prints which is the final end requirement. However, there is also a market for smaller printers, which print different sizes of images. These printers are used in a lot of homes and small photolabs for quick printing of photos. Epson recently launched Epson PictureMate PM 520, and we had a chance to review the photo printer.
