About PRINT Image Matching
EPSON’s revolutionary PRINT Image Matching (P.I.M. and P.I.M. II) technologies
let 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,

Check with your camera’s manufacturer to find out if PRINT
Image Matching technology is included.
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, and color saturation
■ shadow point, highlight point, and color balance
The camera saves this information in each JPEG or TIFF image file. Your printer—
along with EPSON Software
™
Film Factory
™
or the P.I.M. Plug-in for Adobe
®
Photoshop
®
—then 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 960 gives great photo printing results, even
for non-P.I.M. images.
