EPSON PerfectPicture 
Imaging System

Only EPSON printers have the unique combination of technologies 
that combine to deliver the EPSON PerfectPicture Imaging System. At 
the heart of the System is the MicroPiezo printhead technology, 
delivering super fast ejection of incredibly minute and accurately 
formed ink droplets.

EPSON also delivers amazing 5760 x 720 optimised dpi using 
Resolution Performance Management Technology (RPM). This latest 
technology ensures the best combination of speed, superior image 
quality and performance. This technology optimises ink drop size and 
placement to deliver exceptional photo quality.

EPSON Photo Printing Freedom

Total freedom to print photos as you would have them printed, rather 
than within the strict confines of the traditional photo lab. This is the 
promise of the EPSON STYLUS Photo 915 and is delivered by the 
printer’s incredibly powerful yet easy-to-use combination of hardware 
and software technologies.

EPSON ICC Profiles 

Optimising colour reproduction is crucial in 
digital photography printing; and the EPSON 
STYLUS Photo 915 gives you an advantage 
by providing full support for ICC colour 
management. The EPSON ICC profiles 
included with the printer meet exacting 
international standards and will give you 
superior colour matching when used with 
popular photo editing software such as 
Adobe

EPSON Software

Building on the highly successful and 
acclaimed EPSON STYLUS Photo printer 
drivers and software, the EPSON STYLUS 
Photo 915 features PhotoQuicker 3.2, which 
now incorporates PRINT Image Framer.  
PhotoQuicker 3.2 allows for easy photo 
layouts and makes resizing images manually 
a thing of the past, even when doing roll-
paper printing.  With PRINT Image Framer 
your photos can easily and quickly be given 
an added professional touch with custom 
border frames.

EPSON Genuine Papers 
and Inks

When your EPSON STYLUS Photo 915 is 
used in conjunction with EPSON Genuine 
Papers and the EPSON Intellidge™ Ink 
System, the result is invariably output 
perfection. You can also rest assured that 
your photos will retain their colour and 
vibrancy for over 25 years

EPSON PRINT Image Matching II

With the EPSON STYLUS Photo 915 photographers can now break free of the sRGB colour confines, thanks to PRINT Image Matching (P.I.M.). 
The larger colour space information captured by a P.I.M./P.I.M. II-enabled digital camera is utilised by the EPSON STYLUS Photo 915, ensuring 
prints reflect the camera’s unique characteristics and design intentions. The EPSON-developed P.I.M. technology allows digital cameras to set 
image and print parameters such as gamma, contrast, shadow, colour balance, noise reduction and custom scene settings, which can then be 
incorporated into automatic modes such as portrait, landscape, macro and sport. P.I.M. II extends the introduction of the original P.I.M. and 
adds additional features and allows even more information to be transferred from the digital still camera to the EPSON STYLUS Photo 915, for 
even richer printouts of digital images on EPSON printers.

Photo Lab Functionality 
With or Without a Computer

EPSON’s promise of total photo printing freedom extends well 
beyond the personal computer environment. With or without a 
connected computer, the EPSON STYLUS Photo 915’s innovative 
features deliver a new level of flexibility in desktop photo printing.
