Versatility—PRINT Image Matching™ Technology
PRINT Image Matching is a revolutionary technology that ensures digital cameras and printers work together to
produce photographs that print truer-to-life than ever before.
Several leading digital camera manufacturers* have partnered with Epson to incorporate PRINT Image
Matching technology in their upcoming digital camera models. The EPSON Stylus Photo 785EPX is the first
printer (future printers will have this feature, and many current models will have updated drivers available to
support it) and the EPSON PhotoPC 3100Z is the first EPSON digital camera to incorporate this technology.
PRINT Image Matching offers a solution to several problems when printing digital images:
Because software programs set their own unique print commands, it has been difficult to get accurate
prints on a consistent basis when printing digital camera images.
Although digital cameras can capture images in a wider color space, data files are optimized for the
limited computer monitor space.
With PRINT Image Matching, precise print quality instructions and color space data is embedded in the digital
camera file, resulting in a printed image that accurately reflects the image captured through the camera lens.
Additionally, PRINT Image Matching gives the photographer greater control over image consistency. The digital
camera manufacturer can set critical image specific parameters for printing, such as:
Gamma level
Contrast
Sharpness
Brightness
Saturation
Shadow point
Highlight point
Color space
Color balance

A PRINT Image Matching-compatible printer, such as the EPSON Stylus
Photo 785EPX will use this information when printing the image to
deliver new levels of image consistency and unsurpassed photo quality.
