PRINT Image Matching

PRINT Image Matching gives control of the printing process to the digital camera, allowing printed images to reflect the camera’s distinctive qualities. When taking photographs using a PRINT Image Matching compatible digital camera, print command information from the camera is embedded in the photo data. The print command then instructs the printer how to correct color and details based on information stored at the moment the photo was taken. Digital camera settings that create the print command include the gamma, color space, color balance, shadow point, contrast, and brightness settings, among other attributes. A printer equipped with PRINT Image Matching is able to interpret these commands and faithfully reproduce the characteristics of the image captured by the digital camera.

Note:

❏See the relevant device instruction manual for details concerning the use of devices loaded with the PRINT Image Matching function.

❏Please check with the input device manufacturer to determine whether it is loaded with the PRINT Image Matching function.
