This print pack is not labeled well. It does not say whether it is a T5570, T5570-M, "270", T5846, or T5845-M print pack. They are not cross-compatible.

If you have a PictureMate Pal, Snap, or Flash printer, you should order ONLY the T5846 for 150 glossy prints OR the T5845-M for 100 matte prints.

If the box does not specifically say that it is for PictureMate Series 200 printers (Pal, Snap, and Flash) such as the T5846 or T5845-M packs - DON'T BUY IT! You will end up with the wrong size cartridge. T5570, T5570-M, and "270" cartridges are not compatible with the PictureMate 200 series.

For 150 glossy prints, stick to T5846, such as:
* T5846 ASIN-B000IT4O0A
* T5846 ASIN-B000KJBRK8
* T5846 ASIN-B000JMFVY4
* T5846 ASIN-B000MFJOZU
* T5846 ASIN-B000L9MES6
* T5846 ASIN-B000NZRJFQ

For 100 matte prints, stick to T5845-M, such as:
* T5845-M ASIN-B000IT4O0U
* T5845-M ASIN-B000LDRJS2
* T5845-M ASIN-B000JMHV38
* T5845-M ASIN-B000OCMVLU

The low rating isn't so much a reflection on the product as it is on the product's packaging. The manufacturer, Epson, knows that it has more than one type of Picturemate system on the market and that the cartridges are not compatible across all Picturemate models - yet the packaging does not state anywhere with which models the print pack is or isn't compatible. This oversight could be easily fixed by adding information to the packaging.

This is the best way to purchase the paper for your PictureMate Printer.... The cost comes out to approx $0.21 per print.. When you start using the second cartridge, reorder another pack...

The only thing you will need when you buy this package is some extra paper! I love the fact that Epson advertises realistic figures for this package. Some other printer makers do not do this!

I have found that when I buy the 1 ink cartridge/100 sheet refill kits, I run out of paper before I run out of ink. This 2 ink/270 sheet refill pack solves that problem... my ink and paper are consumed at about the same rate (which is much more convenient since you cannot buy the Epson paper separately).

I purchased this print pack when purchasing the PM260 printer. It came up as a suggested item to add on. Didn't mention it the ink cartridge is the wrong size!!! DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRINT PACK FOR THE PM260. It doesn't work!!

The paper included with this package is not as good as the paper in the 100 sheet package unless Epson changed the paper recently.

Epson gets it. The number of sheets of paper and ink cartridge match is pretty darn accurate. I'm currently on my second order of this product and appreciate not having to waste ink when I run out of paper (like I did when I used to buy the 100 pack). I also like how they package the paper in several packages instead of all together. It's easier to pack in my scrapbook bag. The price per print is comparable to local stores...especially with the price of gas if you have to drive to pick up the prints!

This pack is NOT for the portable <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Epson-PictureMate-Compact-Inkjet-Printer/dp/tech-data/B000UMRWCC/ref=de_a_smtd">PM-260 "PictureMate Dash" unit</a>. The paper is compatible, but the ink cartridges are the wrong size.

Make sure you're buying the right package and before you open the plastic bag with the ink cartridge, make sure it's going to fit into your printer.

The Epson Print Pack is a good deal. The only issue I have is a previous pack I purchased had a Best When Used By date of less than a month from purchase. I would suggest you check the date immediately upon receiving your order.

I print a hundred or more photos every week and this product gives me great photos at a reasonable price. When you print as many photos as I do, you have to look for bargains. This is it!!! Buy it, you won't be dissappointed.
