How Many Photos Will I Get From a PictureMate 200 Series Print Pack?
Epson has packaged the PictureMate Photo Cartridge with a quantity of 4 × 6 PictureMate Photo Paper, so that purchasing supplies for PictureMate is convenient and affordable. The number of sheets of photo paper in your PictureMate Print Pack is stated on the Print Pack’s box. The photo ink cartridge in the Print Pack contains enough ink to allow borderless, color printing of about the stated number of sheets.
Our estimate of the number of photos you can print with a PictureMate Print Pack is based on test printing with a range of 20 different color photos. Actual yields will vary based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency of use and temperature. For example, printing many copies of the same photo, or printing many black and white or sepia photos, may result in fewer photos per PictureMate Photo Cartridge. Also, the PictureMate Photo Cartridge once installed should be replaced with a new one within 6 months. For print quality, a variable amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the “Replace Print Pack” indicator comes on.
You may be able to print more photos with a PictureMate Photo Cartridge than the number of sheets of photo paper in your PictureMate Print Pack. In this case the cartridge monitor indicates the cartridge can still be used. You can continue printing with paper from another PictureMate Print Pack or Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy in the 4 × 6 borderless size which is available from many resellers or Epsonstore.com. There are other photo papers available but most are not formulated to be fully compatible with the PictureMate Photo Cartridge. Using other papers may result in poor color reproduction, print quality problems or more fading.
Both a PictureMate Photo Cartridge and some PictureMate Photo Paper were included in the box with your PictureMate printer. The included cartridge contains enough ink to allow borderless, color printing of about the number of included paper sheets. The other comments above also apply to the cartridge and paper included in the printer box.
If you are dissatisfied because you receive fewer prints than the number of sheets of paper stated on your PictureMate Print Pack, you can return the remaining sheets of paper with the dated sales receipt and UPC code from the PictureMate Print Pack packaging within one year of purchase and Epson will give you a pro-rated refund for the number of sheets returned, plus a maximum of $1.10 for postage. The amount of the refund depends on the number of sheets stated on your Print Pack and the Print Pack’s suggested retail price. For example, if you purchased a 150-sheet Print Pack of glossy photo paper with a suggested retail price of $39.99, Epson will refund 27 cents per sheet returned ($39.99 divided by 150 sheets equals 27 cents per sheet.). This Satisfaction Guarantee is a prorated refund that covers only end-user claims in the U.S. and Canada. It does not cover use of any non-Epson ink or paper, commercial use of the printer, or paper consumed by proofs or printing errors.
This Satisfaction Guarantee also applies to the PictureMate Photo Cartridge and PictureMate Photo Paper which were included in the box with your PictureMate printer, if you are dissatisfied because you receive fewer prints with the cartridge than the number of sheets included. The per-sheet refund in that case is 27 cents.

Before using PictureMate, read the following safety instructions to make sure you use it safely and effectively:
|
•
|
If you use the printer in places where the use of printers is restricted, such as in airplanes or hospitals, follow all instructions in those places.
|
|
•
|
Always turn the printer off using the
 On button. Do not unplug the printer or turn off the power to the outlet until the On light goes out. |
|
•
|
Leave the photo cartridge installed. Removing the cartridge can dehydrate the print head and may prevent the printer from printing or cause ink to leak out.
|
|
•
|
Do not remove the memory card or turn off the printer while the computer and the memory card are communicating (when the memory card light is flashing).
|
|
•
|
The methods for using memory cards vary according to card type. Be sure to refer to the documentation packaged with your memory card for details.
|
|
•
|
Place the printer on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the printer in all directions. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted at an angle. If you place the printer by the wall, leave more than 4 inches (10 cm) between the back of the printer and the wall.
|
|
•
|
When storing or transporting the printer, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it upside down. Otherwise, ink may leak from the cartridge.
|
|
•
|
Avoid places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Also, keep the printer and the AC adapter away from direct sunlight, strong light, water, or heat sources.
|
Caution: Keep PictureMate out of the sun and don’t leave it in your car or other location where it can get too hot or too cold. Otherwise PictureMate may be damaged or ink may leak.
|
•
|
Power supply cords should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not place objects on top of power-supply cords and do not allow the AC adapter or power-supply cords to be stepped on or run over. Be particularly careful to keep all power-supply cords straight at the ends and the points where they enter and leave the AC adapter.
|
|
•
|
Use only the power-supply cord that comes with this product. Use of another cord may result in fire or electrical shock, or injury.
|
|
•
|
The AC adapter model A381H is designed for use with the printer with which it was included. Do not attempt to use it with other electronic devices unless specified.
|
|
•
|
Use only the type of power source indicated on the AC adapter’s label, and always supply power directly from a standard domestic electrical outlet with the AC power cord that meets the relevant local safety standards.
|
|
•
|
Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.
|
|
•
|
Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.
|
|
•
|
If you use an extension cord with the printer, make sure that the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure that the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.
|
|
•
|
Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the AC adapter, power cord, printer, or options by yourself except as specifically explained in the printer’s guides. Doing so may result in injury, electric shock, or fire.
|
|
•
|
Unplug the printer and the AC adapter and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
|
The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the printer or the AC adapter; the printer or the AC adapter has been dropped or the casing damaged; the printer or the AC adapter does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. (Do not adjust controls that are not covered by the operating instructions.)
WARNING: The cords included with this product contain chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. (provided in accordance with Proposition 65 in Cal. Health & Safety Code §25249.5 et seq)
|
•
|
Be careful when you handle used photo cartridges, as there may be some ink remaining around the ink supply ports. If ink gets onto your skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems continue after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.
|
|
•
|
Install the photo cartridge immediately after you remove it from its package. If you leave a cartridge unpacked for a long time before using it, normal printing may not be possible.
|
|
•
|
Do not use a photo cartridge beyond the date printed on the cartridge carton; otherwise, it may result in reduced print quality. For best results, use up the photo cartridge within six months of installing it.
|
|
•
|
After bringing a photo cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least three hours before using it.
|
|
•
|
Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.
|
|
•
|
The IC chip on the photo cartridge retains a variety of cartridge-related information, such as the amount of ink remaining, so that the cartridge may be removed and reinstalled freely. However, each time the cartridge is inserted, some ink is consumed because the printer automatically performs a reliability check.
|
|
•
|
If you remove the photo cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply ports from dirt and dust and store it in the same environment as the printer. A valve in the ink supply ports makes covers or plugs unnecessary, but the ink may stain items that come into contact with this area of the cartridge. Do not touch the ink supply ports or the surrounding area.
|
|
•
|
The screen contains a few small bright or dark spots. These are normal and do not mean that the screen is damaged in any way.
|
|
•
|
If the screen is damaged, contact your dealer. If the liquid crystal solution gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If the liquid crystal solution gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.
|
|
•
|
Please consult your state and local regulations regarding disposal or recycling. Do not put in the trash.
|
|
•
|
If battery acid gets into your eyes or on your skin, immediately rinse the affected area thoroughly with water and seek medical treatment. If a battery is swallowed, seek medical treatment immediately.
|
|
•
|
Use only an Epson Li-ion battery model D121A for this printer according to the directions in the user documentation. Replacing the battery with an incorrect model may cause an explosion.
|
|
•
|
Do not charge or use the battery with devices other than the specified product. Using the battery with other devices may damage the battery or other devices, or may cause an explosion.
|
|
•
|
Do not insert objects into any openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-circuit components.
|
|
•
|
Prevent the battery from coming into contact with metal objects that could short-circuit it, such as coins or keys.
|
|
•
|
If overheating, discoloration, or deformation occur, remove the battery from this product and do not use it.
