the software addresses is differences in the appearance of prints of the same image file made with different software packages. In addition, according to Epson, the wider color- space capabilities of many digital cameras is thwarted by capturing images optimized for monitor gamuts, rather than printer gamuts.

With PRINT Image Matching, camera makers can set parameters such as gamma level, color space, contrast, sharpness, brightness, shadow point, highlight point, and color balance. The parameters are saved with each image file. Epson calls this set of parameters ìideal print information.î The ìideal print informationî is then used by PRINT Image-Matching-compatible printers when printing. Epson envisions that camera manufacturers will package sets of parameters into shooting modesósuch as portrait, landscape, macro, scenery, or sport.

Camera makers who worked with Epson developing PRINT Image Matching include Casio, Konica, Kyocera, Minolta, Olympus, Ricoh, Sony, and Toshiba. Epson plans to deliver PRINT-Image-Matching-capable printers in Spring 2001. Although Epson has contacted other printer manufacturers about using PRINT Image Matching, there have been no announcements yet. There is no fee for integrating PRINT Image Matching into oneís products.F

Danka claims that the JASPrint 2 software, which supports Windows 2000, Windows 95/98, and Windows NT operating systems, has the potential to save customers thousands, and in some cases, millions of dollars on printing costs. The JASPrint 2 software is offered as part of Dankaís DankaWare software portfolio, which includes software packages from American PrintWare, Objectif Lune, Alto Imaging Technologies, and Network Printing Solutions (see
