about Exif Print

Exif Print (Exchangeable Image File Format 2.2) is an international open-standard
that simplifies digital imaging and enhances printed photographs. When a photograph
is taken with a digital camera, Exif Print encodes information such as exposure time,
flash setting, and color saturation, and tags it in the standard header of a JPEG file.
The HP Deskjet printer software then uses the tags to automatically perform image
specific enhancements. Users do not have to further manipulate the image to get
outstanding photographs. Exif Print is available with most newer digital cameras.
