About PRINT Image Matching

Your EPSON Stylus Photo R300 Series printer includes support for EPSON’s revolutionary PRINT Image Matching™ technology. PRINT Image Matching 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,® JVC,® Konica,® Kyocera,® Leica,® Minolta,® Nikon,® Olympus,® Panasonic,® Pentax,® Ricoh,® Sanyo,® 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 JPEG image file (and TIFF files from P.I.M. II-enabled cameras). Your printer—along with P.I.M.-enabled software, such as EPSON Software™ Film Factory,™ or the P.I.M. II Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® —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 R300 series printer gives great photo printing results.

About Exif Print

The Exif (Exchangeable Image File) Print format includes information about your digital camera settings in JPEG files so your printer and application can use them to create accurate print settings. Most digital cameras store Exif Print information such as shutter speed, metering, flash, exposure settings, resolution, and lens use in the JPEG image file. Your printer—along with EPSON Software Film Factory or P.I.M. II Plug-in—uses the information to ensure the most accurate image reproduction.
