PRINT Image Matching and Exif Print
Your EPSON Stylus Photo 2200 printer supports these innovative digital image
formats to give you the best photo prints possible:
■PRINT Image Matching™(both P.I.M. and P.I.M. II)
■Exif Print
About PRINT Image Matching
EPSON’s revolutionary PRINT Image Matching (P.I.M.) technology lets 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,
®Konica, ®Kyocera, ®Minolta, ®Nikon, ®Olympus, ®Pentax, ®Ricoh, ®Sanyo, ®
Sony,
®and Toshiba. ®Check with your camera’s manufacturer or visit
www.printimagematching.com to find out if PRINT Image Matching technology is
included with your camera.
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, color saturation, and noise reduction
■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. II Plug-in for Adobe®
Photoshop®(included with your printer)—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 2200 gives great photo printing results, just
without the adjustments P.I.M.-enabled cameras may add.

Welcome! 3
About Exif Print
The Exif (Exchangeable Image File) Print format includes information about your
digital camera settings in JPEG/TIFF files so your printer and application can use
them to create accurate print settings. Most digital cameras store Exif Print
information such as shutter speed, metering, flash, and exposure settings, resolution,
and lens use in the JPEG/TIFF image file. Your printer—along with EPSON
Software Film Factory and the P.I.M. II Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop—uses the
information to ensure the most accurate image reproduction.
About Your Software
Your printer CD-ROM includes all the software you need for printing. See the
Start Here sheet for installation instructions.
■Your printer driver runs your printer and lets you control how your documents
look. You can’t print without it.
Tip: It’s a good idea to check EPSON’s support web site periodically for free
updates to your printer driver. Visit http://support.epson.com. Download
instructions are posted for your convenience.
■Your photo software includes these great tools:
EPSON Software Film Factory is a photo management program
that lets you organize, beautify, and print your photos in a flash.
Supports PRINT Image Matching, P.I.M. II, and Exif Print.
P.I.M. II Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop lets you retain PRINT Image Matching,
P.I.M. II, and Exif Print image quality when you import JPEG or TIFF files from
your P.I.M.-enabled digital camera. (Compatible with Photoshop 6.0 and 7.0,
and Photoshop Elements 1.0 and 2.0.)
■Your EPSON Printer Information Center gives you quick, on-screen
access to information about your printer. It includes EPSON Print
Show animated tutorials on loading roll paper, replacing ink
cartridges, and other tasks. It also includes an on-screen Reference
Guide for additional information about your printer. (The desktop
icon may be different on some Mac OS X systems.)
