EPSON PerfectPicture
Imaging System
Only EPSON printers have the unique combination of technologies
that combine to deliver the EPSON PerfectPicture Imaging System. At
the heart of the System is the MicroPiezo printhead technology,
delivering super fast ejection of incredibly minute and accurately
formed ink droplets.
EPSON also delivers amazing 5760 x 720 optimised dpi using
Resolution Performance Management Technology (RPM). This latest
technology ensures the best combination of speed, superior image
quality and performance. This technology optimises ink drop size and
placement to deliver exceptional photo quality.
EPSON Photo Printing Freedom
Total freedom to print photos as you would have them printed, rather
than within the strict confines of the traditional photo lab. This is the
promise of the EPSON STYLUS Photo 915 and is delivered by the
printer’s incredibly powerful yet easy-to-use combination of hardware
and software technologies.
EPSON ICC Profiles
Optimising colour reproduction is crucial in
digital photography printing; and the EPSON
STYLUS Photo 915 gives you an advantage
by providing full support for ICC colour
management. The EPSON ICC profiles
included with the printer meet exacting
international standards and will give you
superior colour matching when used with
popular photo editing software such as
Adobe
® Photoshop ® .
EPSON Software
Building on the highly successful and
acclaimed EPSON STYLUS Photo printer
drivers and software, the EPSON STYLUS
Photo 915 features PhotoQuicker 3.2, which
now incorporates PRINT Image Framer.
PhotoQuicker 3.2 allows for easy photo
layouts and makes resizing images manually
a thing of the past, even when doing roll-
paper printing. With PRINT Image Framer
your photos can easily and quickly be given
an added professional touch with custom
border frames.
EPSON Genuine Papers
and Inks
When your EPSON STYLUS Photo 915 is
used in conjunction with EPSON Genuine
Papers and the EPSON Intellidge™ Ink
System, the result is invariably output
perfection. You can also rest assured that
your photos will retain their colour and
vibrancy for over 25 years

EPSON ColorLife Paper using genuine
EPSON specialty inks.
EPSON PRINT Image Matching II
With the EPSON STYLUS Photo 915 photographers can now break free of the sRGB colour confines, thanks to PRINT Image Matching (P.I.M.).
The larger colour space information captured by a P.I.M./P.I.M. II-enabled digital camera is utilised by the EPSON STYLUS Photo 915, ensuring
prints reflect the camera’s unique characteristics and design intentions. The EPSON-developed P.I.M. technology allows digital cameras to set
image and print parameters such as gamma, contrast, shadow, colour balance, noise reduction and custom scene settings, which can then be
incorporated into automatic modes such as portrait, landscape, macro and sport. P.I.M. II extends the introduction of the original P.I.M. and
adds additional features and allows even more information to be transferred from the digital still camera to the EPSON STYLUS Photo 915, for
even richer printouts of digital images on EPSON printers.
