About PRINT Image Matching
EPSON’s revolutionary PRINT Image Matching ™ (P.I.M.) technology lets your
digital camera and printer work together automatically to produce the best prints
possible. Digital camera manufacturers that support PRINT Image Matching include
EPSON, Casio,
® Konica, ® Kyocera, ® Minolta, ® Nikon, ® Olympus, ® Pentax, ® Ricoh, ®
Sanyo, ® Sony, ® and Toshiba. ® Check with your camera’s manufacturer or visit
www.printimagematching.com to find out if PRINT Image Matching technology is
included with your camera.
With PRINT Image Matching, the digital camera manufacturer can set specific
printing options for each camera model. These options include:
■ contrast, sharpness, and brightness
■ gamma level, color space, color saturation, and noise reduction
■ shadow point, highlight point, and color balance
The camera saves this information in each image file. Your printer—along with
P.I.M.-enabled software, such as EPSON Software
™ Film Factory, ™ the P.I.M.
Plug-in for Adobe ® Photoshop, ® or ArcSoft ™ PhotoImpression ™ (included with your
printer)—uses the information to ensure the most accurate image reproduction.
But don’t worry if your camera doesn’t include PRINT Image Matching
technology—your EPSON Stylus Photo 820 gives great photo printing results, just
without the adjustments P.I.M.-enabled cameras may add.
