Welcome!
PictureMate™ is your easy-to-use, personal photo lab.
Just insert a digital camera memory card and you’re
ready to print brilliant, long-lasting photos. Because
PictureMate is light and portable, you can print
whenever and wherever you take pictures. Plus, your
PictureMate photos are archival; generations from
now your PictureMate prints will be as vibrant as they
are today.
A Quick Introduction to the Digital
Photography Process
With film cameras, the process
was simple; buy film, take
pictures, leave the film at the
photo lab, and come back later
for your photos and negatives.
Since you had negatives, you
could take them back later if
you wanted reprints.
The digital process is simple too, and it gives you
complete control. Just follow these basic steps:
1. Review and Delete
After you finish taking your
photos, review them on your
digital camera’s screen. Delete
the photos you don’t want to
print or keep.
2. Print
Insert your camera’s memory
card in PictureMate, choose
your photos, and print.
3. Save
To preserve your digital photo
files (just like film negatives),
save them to a CD or your
computer. Then you can reprint
them any time.
4. Clear the Memory Card
After you save your photo files, delete them from your
memory card so you have room for more photos.
