Welcome!

Your EPSON Stylus®Photo 925 is an amazing printer for digital photography. You can print

pictures directly from your digital camera’s memory card. Choose from various layouts, adjust

image brightness, and crop your photos without even turning on your computer!

Create true BorderFree™ photos directly from your printer in a variety of sizes perfect for

albums or framing. You get quick and easy snapshots and enlargements just minutes after

taking pictures with your digital camera.

If you want to save your picture files, you can transfer them immediately to your Windows®

or Macintosh®computer and print from there.

Here are some of the printer’s outstanding features:

■EPSON’s exclusive 6-color ink technology lets you achieve fine shadow detail, dazzling

highlights, and excellent fill across a wide range of colors. Black ink, instead of composite

black, is used for printing all types of pictures, resulting in rich-looking color photos.

Genuine EPSON®ink and papers create long-lasting and water-resistant prints.

■Ground-breaking Resolution Performance Management™(RPM) technology optimizes

the number and placement of ink droplets on a variety of papers for superior photo

quality and performance, with manageable print file sizes.

■Three built-in memory card slots support CompactFlash™Type I and II, SmartMedia,

™

Sony Memory Stick,®and IBM®Microdrive.

™(Secure Digital and MultiMediaCard are

supported with an optional adapter.)

■The USB port lets you connect a digital camera (supported models) or external storage

device, such as an Iomega®Zip®drive, directly to the printer so you can access and store

images without a computer.

■An optional preview monitor (EPSON part number C12C860005) is available to help

you select photos for printing. See page 107 for ordering information.

PRINT Image Matching and Exif Print

Your EPSON Stylus Photo 925 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 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,

®JVC,

®Konica,

®Kyocera,

®Minolta,

®Nikon,

®Olympus,

®Panasonic,

Pentax,

®Ricoh,

®Sanyo,

®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 image file (and TIFF files from

P.I.M. II-enabled cameras). Your printer—along with P.I.M.-enabled software, such as

EPSON Software™Film Factory,

™the P.I.M. II Plug-in for Adobe®Photoshop,

® or ArcSoft™

PhotoImpression™(all 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 925 gives great photo printing results.

About Exif Print

The Exif (Exchangeable Image File) Print format includes information about your digital

camera settings in JPEG 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, exposure settings, resolution, and lens use in the JPEG image file. Your

printer—along with EPSON Software Film Factory or P.I.M. II Plug-in—uses the

information to ensure the most accurate image reproduction.

About Your Software 3

About Your Software

The printer software CD-ROM that came with your printer 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 from your computer 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 (both P.I.M. and P.I.M. II) and Exif Print

(except with Mac®OS X).

EPSON PhotoStarter and CardMonitor utilities help your system handle photos on a

memory card (not needed on Windows XP systems). If you want, you can have your

photos copied to your computer automatically—and even open one of your photo editing

programs—whenever you insert a memory card in your printer. (These programs are

installed automatically with your printer driver.)

ArcSoft PhotoImpression is an easy-to-use photo editing program

that lets you edit, enhance, retouch, or add special effects to any

image with just a few clicks. Supports PRINT Image Matching

(P.I.M. and P.I.M. II) and Exif Print (except with Mac OS X).

P.I.M. II Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop lets you retain PRINT Image Matching and

Exif Print image quality when you import JPEG or TIFF files from your P.I.M.-,

P.I.M. II-, or Exif Print-enabled digital camera. (Compatible with Photoshop 6.0 and 7.0,

and Photoshop Elements 1.0 and 2.0.)

■Your on-screen Reference Guide (printer manual) gives you additional details about your

printer. You need a browser—such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer version 4.0 or later or

Netscape®Navigator®version 3.0 or later—to view the guide. See page 5 for details.

■EPSON PhotoCenter is EPSON’s free photo-sharing web site where

you can store, organize, and share your photos; print high-resolution

photos straight from the web; and create free online postcards with your

photos. Your printer software installer lets you add a link to the EPSON

PhotoCenter on your desktop.
