Summary: Yes, you can select only certain photos to print
Comment: A previous reviewer (A.Lee) talked about how you need to use your camera's DPOF function in order to print only certain photos from your camera's memory card.
The printer has a much easier and more direct way to do this. When you choose to print photos (instead of choosing to print a series of photos), the first photo from your memory card or camera appears on the screen. You can use the up and down arrows to change the number of prints you want for the photo. For example, press the up arrow once to change it from 0 to 1. Then you use the right arrow to proceed to the next photo. Once again you use the up and down arrows to choose the number of prints. You continue using the left and right arrows to go through all the possible photos. When you have chosen all of the ones that you want copies of, just press the print button.

Summary: selecting which photos to print
Comment: I haven't yet bought this printer (looking at various printers for a possible gift) but I was reading some of the recent reviews of this product and one reviewer stated the following:
" The only thing I wish the printer had (unless I have not found it yet) is a function to "Select certain" pictures off of a memory card and them print them (to basically tell the Epson exactly which pitures I want (program the printer) before I print them out so I dont have to keep coming back to the printer..... All I have found is "Print a selectable range" of pictures like from 5-15 or print certain photos "one at a time". I am not using a computer with this printer. I am taking pics on my camera and then use the card directly in the printer. very simple. "
The reviewer is correct about this model. The Epson Picturemate Express Edition printer does allow you to select multiple individual photos to print. It has a 'select several' option that this printer does not. Of course that printer does not have a display panel so you can see the photos.
HOWEVER... for both of these models of PictureMate printers and other photo printers support DPOF. DPOF stands for Digital Print Order Format. A printer that supports DPOF will read the DPOF information stored on your memory card (along with the photos) and print only the photos you have selected and print the specified number of copies of each photo.
Your camera MUST also support DPOF in order for this to work. Many if not most of the current models of digital cameras support DPOF. Using your DPOF capable camera, select which photos you want to print and indicate how many copies of that photo. This information is stored in the memory card.
Now there are a few ways to use DPOF when it comes to printing:
1) You can connect a PictBridge capable camera to a PictBridge capable printer (like the Epson PictureMates). From the camera, you can instruct the camera to print the DPOF selected photos. In this case the camera is the brains and sending only the selected photos to the printer (and if you requested multiple copies it is telling the printer to print the number of copies.) Note: In this case the printer does not have to support DPOF, only PictBridge in order to connect the camera directly. All the 'intelligence is in the camera. Check your camera manual to make sure that when connected to a PictBridge printer it can utilize its DPOF selection to tell the printer which ones to print.
2) You can also take the memory card out of the camera and insert it into the PictureMate. On the PictureMate when selecting the print option (one, all, range, etc.) choose DPOF. The the printer will examine the DPOF data on the memory card and print the selected photos.
Note: My printers do not have a slot to insert a memory card so I can't verify this personally but I'm fairly sure that after the printer has printed the DPOF tagged photos, it will NOT remove the DPOF data from the memory card. So if you tagged 10 out the 30 photos on your memory card and printed them, and then you decide you want to print 5 other photos.... You will need to use your camera to remove the DPOF tags on the first 10 photos while tagging the additional 5 photos. If you don't, and you tell the printer to print the DPOF photos you will end up with 15 photos (the original ten plus the additional 5). You can verify this by inserting the memory card back into the camera and see if the DPOF tags are still on the original 10 photos you had selected.

Summary: Fantastic
Comment: I bought the Epson Picturemate Printer for my husband for his birthday, along with a Canon digital camera. This printer is fantastic. The pictures are actually better than the ones we received from the drugstore developer. We have used this photo printer over and over for instant pictures to give to friends and family of special occasions and fun shots that were captured.

Summary: Exceptional printer!
Comment: I have not used my digital camera as much as I would have liked to due to the print quality of printing at home. I have tried several printers and was unhappy until I got this one. It's great! Photo lab quality, easy operation, durable, dependable. wonderfull!

Summary: After Using this for 4 months...This is a great printer
Comment: I got this printer for my wife (she's something of a technophobe) to get her to use her digital camera more. The results were fantastic and still coming. Our pictures are finally getting out of the computer and into photo albums, frames, and cards to the grandparents.
The supply packages make it very easy to keep the printer supplied and running. My over skeptical eyes thought the pictures were a little grainy until I compared them to what we were getting from the photo labs. This printer easily matches 4x6 results from professional labs. I have no problems recommending this printer.
It is a little slow on a per print basis, but it is easy to queue up a lot of photos and just let it print away while you go on to something else. The screen of the deluxe printer is worth the extra price, it is much easier to select photos from the screen than from contact sheets printed on the non-deluxe version.
