During PMA 2001 Epson
announced their new "Print Image Matching" innovation, a
system which records "missing colour information" in the EXIF
header of JPEG images, this information is understood by compatible printers
to produce more accurate and vibrant colours which (in theory) should
match the colours in the scene. At the time they announced collaboration
with several digital camera manufacturers. Today Epson have announced
their updated CP-900 (PhotoPC 3000Z),
the CP-920Z with Print Image Matching.
I can only make a guess that this camera will be named the PhotoPC 3020Z
when it's announced in the west.
