Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What unique feature makes the PictureMate Flash PM 280 stand out from standard portable printers?
  The PictureMate Flash features an integrated, built-in CD-RW burner and DVD-ROM drive. This allows you to insert a camera memory card and archive your digital photos straight onto a blank CD without needing a computer, or print pictures directly from historical photo CDs or DVDs.
• What types of memory cards can be placed straight into the integrated interface slots?
  The native multi-format card slots support CompactFlash (Type I/II), Secure Digital (SD), SDHC, MultiMediaCard (MMC), xD-Picture Card, SmartMedia, and classic Memory Stick formats natively without external readers.
• Are the finished printouts safe to pass around immediately upon exiting the printer?
  Yes. The advanced high-definition dye formulation creates instant-dry snapshots right as they leave the exit path. The finalized photo prints are highly durable, completely smudge-resistant, scratch-resistant, water-resistant, and won't fade under glass surfaces for generations.
