# 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 captured by the digital camera and 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 Photoshop Elements:

- If you select the PIM option while printing multiple images, but only some of the images have PIM data, the option is applied only to images with PIM data.

- The layout preview in the Print Selected Photos (Print Photos) dialog box doesn’t preview the color enhancements from the PIM or Exif Print data.

- Some printer driver settings are not compatible with PIM or Exif Print, and may disable those options.

- Exif Print is a subset of PIM that is supported by Epson devices. Depending on your printer, it’s possible to select both the PIM and Exif Print options for a more enhanced print.
