    About PRINT Image Matching (PIM) and Exif Print

    PRINT Image Matching (PIM) technology ensures that PRINT Image Matching-enabled digital cameras and printers work together to produce the best possible prints. The PIM technology lets the Epson® printer identify print-specific information for each image in the digital camera. It provides improved color, quality, and detail in prints.

    Exif 2.2 (Exif Print) uses the information (Exif tags) in photos from digital cameras that support Epson’s Exif 2.2 (Exif Print). The Exif Print-supported printer uses these Exif tags to ensure optimal processing and enhance the print output. Check your printer’s documentation for details.

    Keep in mind the following guidelines when using the PIM and Exif Print options in Elements Organizer:

    • The PIM option is applied only to images with PIM data.

    • The layout preview in the Print dialog box doesn’t preview the color enhancements from the PIM or Exif Print data.

    • In some printer driver settings not compatible with PIM or Exif Print, these options are disabled.

    • Epson devices support Exif Print, a subset of PIM. Depending on your printer, it’s possible to select both the PIM and Exif Print options for a more enhanced print.
      Important: In Windows Vista, Photoshop Elements does not fully support some Epson printers. If your Epson printer driver was installed with Windows Vista, Photoshop Elements does not completely support it. If you received your printer driver directly from Epson, Photoshop Elements supports your printer.
