I understand the different sized photo paper. Does the PM 400 let you print smaller prints on the page? For example on the PM 290 under the Layout it lets you choose borderless & borer along with wallet & jumbo wallet sizes.
Thanks for the review, i just bought mine and testing it while watching and listening to you. I don’t hear any sound only when i am printing. And yes i used to own a canon selphy, i took very good care of it and one day it just died. This one took very good picture better than the canon i would say. I took a picture of mine with my phone from a picture from the 70’s it was grainy but it still came out nice. So hopefully this one last longer than the other one
I have an Epson PM-400, and I love the quality of the prints and how easy the printer is to use. However, it seems that whether I print from my MacBook (tried multiple apps) or directly from my iPhone on the Epson app, I am having an issue with prints which are two 3x4s together on a 4x6. I use 4x6 Borderless for a print setting, and although I get a print without a border, the actual picture which is printed is a smaller area of photo than what shows on the preview screen. It's making me crazy! I spent over an hour on the Epson Customer Service line today, and they ended up telling me that it was a problem with my printer. I was just wondering if you have experienced the PM-400 printing less of a picture than what you see on the screen. I know that I've seen your videos where you print out two PL cards on a 4x6, but I don't remember which specific video it was. Thanks for any thoughts!
Evie Antonetti There is a difference between a digital pic 4x6 and actual print size 4x6. Digitals are bigger. I always put them in a collage app and size so I don’t get any cut off, the size would be 2x3 or 3x2 depending on orientation. This prints a perfect 4x6
Thank you! This was very thorough! I was hoping you would do the price breakdown. That's not bad per picture, and it'll get better, I bet you get 200 prints out of that cartridge. The amount you scrapbook makes this a necessity! I get what you mean about not having to wait for pictures from a lab, you lose your mojo! Love your videos, I can't wait for the app one!
Hi there! Thank you for this review! Are you still using this printer for your Project Life? I’m a newbie and need a good photo printer for PL! Thanks so much!
I use PicFrame to do collage prints from my phone. I have a video that talks about it here: th-cam.com/video/XEoWKba4LIw/w-d-xo.htmlm48s I add the white border around the photos using the settings on the printer itself. I have gotten a few borders not be even. It's happened when I don't have the paper aligned with the guides. Just make sure the paper is snuggly in the paper feed spot.
I'm sorry I just realized I missed a chunk of comments. The printer itself won't print on smaller photo sizes, just 4X6 and 5X7 but you can make photo collages with apps like PicFrame. I have a tutorial: th-cam.com/video/XEoWKba4LIw/w-d-xo.html
I cannot get the printer to print a 5x7. Do I need to go in and change a format somewhere? I’ve tried it twice and it prints a 4x6 on my 5x7 paper. Frustrating.
I am so sorry for the delayed response. I really hope you figured it out. There is a setting on the printer AND a setting on the app that needs to be changed.
Sorry for the delayed response. I've been taking time off here due to pregnancy. I don't think it has any color editing features that I'm aware of. I always print through my phone and do any photo editing on my phone before printing.
I love this printer! But my question is that when I use the Epson Creative Print app and want to print a collage-say 2 vertical selfies that look perfect …until I click to the “next” step, before print-it flips my pictures to horizontal and then they’re all distorted -do you know how to fix this?
Sorry, I have been on hiatus for a bit. I am so sorry I have no idea how to fix this. I would think there's got to be a setting somewhere in the Epson app to rotate the photo. My other suggestion is to uninstall and reinstall the app and see if it helps. I really don't know why it would flip it like that. EEK. Hope you already were able to fix it.
Great review! Looking forward to the review of the Little Moments app. I use the Collect app as a result of your review - so thanks again for taking the time to do these reviews! BTW - my daughter lives north of Austin - hate the traffic!!
I hope you were able to figure it out. So sorry I didn't realize I was getting comments and not getting notifications. The ink cartridges are a little tight to push into the printer.
Sorry for the delayed response. I've been taking time off here due to pregnancy. It does not have a battery, just a plug in cord. The picturemate charm has the option to buy a battery but this one does not as far as I know.
If you hadn't done this review, I wouldn't have known about it. I so want it!
It's a great little printer! I am surprised it's not more popular!!

Your reasoning is so sensible! Thank you! 12:06

I hope it lasts well for you. I have had this one for maybe 4ish years and it's still going strong.
@@thescrapmaster i hope so too! I took very good care of my selphy and it just died on me.

Hi, i use the app photo collage and you have to pick the ratio 3:2 so that when you print it, it will be a perfect 3x4 . Hope this help
Can I print smaller sizes such as wallet & jumbo wallet on this printer?
Great review my question is how many pictures can I print with one ink cartridge thanks

I agree, the price breakdown isn't terrible. Totally worth the cost.
Hi there! Thank you for this review! Are you still using this printer for your Project Life? I’m a newbie and need a good photo printer for PL! Thanks so much!
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I had a baby :) YES I still use this photo printer and still love it and highly recommend it.
Do you use a collage app to print two photos per page? And how do ensure there are even white borders if you do?
I use PicFrame to do collage prints from my phone. I have a video that talks about it here: th-cam.com/video/XEoWKba4LIw/w-d-xo.htmlm48s I add the white border around the photos using the settings on the printer itself.

Hi how to change the paper size into a smaller one like a wallet size photograph?, It's not on the list of photo printing size.. thank you
I'm sorry I just realized I missed a chunk of comments. The printer itself won't print on smaller photo sizes, just 4X6 and 5X7 but you can make photo collages with apps like PicFrame. I have a tutorial: th-cam.com/video/XEoWKba4LIw/w-d-xo.html
I've been eyeballing this. Thanks for the in depth review🙂Definitely putting this on my wishlist
It's a great printer! I hope you get one :)
I cannot get the printer to print a 5x7. Do I need to go in and change a format somewhere? I’ve tried it twice and it prints a 4x6 on my 5x7 paper. Frustrating.
I am so sorry for the delayed response. I really hope you figured it out. There is a setting on the printer AND a setting on the app that needs to be changed.
@@thescrapmaster There's not a setting on the app to change it from 4x6 to 5x7. Is there another app to use? I can change it on the printer though.
Thanks for the review!! Just got mine!
Congrats and enjoy! I still use and love mine!
Hi can you color correct inside the printer or does it have to be with a laptop? Thanks
Sorry for the delayed response. I've been taking time off here due to pregnancy. I don't think it has any color editing features that I'm aware of. I always print through my phone and do any photo editing on my phone before printing.
What does the app picture look like

I got the Little Moments review up now: th-cam.com/video/4hzHvoZGIGI/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for the review! I’m thinking about buying this printer for scrapbooking 🙂👍🏻
Good review. Getting my wife one. Seems perfect for her. Thanks!
I still use and love this printer many years later. Good choice! I hope she loves it.
I just got my printer, and can't get the ink cartridge loaded. It doesn't seem to fit. Please help!
I hope you were able to figure it out. So sorry I didn't realize I was getting comments and not getting notifications. The ink cartridges are a little tight to push into the printer.
I got it, but thanks!!
Great review...very helpful !!
Glad you liked it!
What is the price
I'm seeing them out of stock when I search for them, but I don't see prices. I can't remember what I paid for mine many years ago.
does it have battery?
Sorry for the delayed response. I've been taking time off here due to pregnancy. It does not have a battery, just a plug in cord. The picturemate charm has the option to buy a battery but this one does not as far as I know.
Couldn't hear the hummmm....lol
