EPSON PRINT Image Matching II
With the EPSON STYLUS Photo 915 photographers can now break free of the sRGB colour confines, thanks to PRINT Image Matching (P.I.M.). The larger colour space information captured by a P.I.M./P.I.M. II-enabled digital camera is utilised by the EPSON STYLUS Photo 915, ensuring prints reflect the camera’s unique characteristics and design intentions. The EPSON-developed P.I.M. technology allows digital cameras to set image and print parameters such as gamma, contrast, shadow, colour balance, noise reduction and custom scene settings, which can then be incorporated into automatic modes such as portrait, landscape, macro and sport. P.I.M. II extends the introduction of the original P.I.M. and adds additional features and allows even more information to be transferred from the digital still camera to the EPSON STYLUS Photo 915, for even richer printouts of digital images on EPSON printers.
