printing Exif Print-enhanced photographs
Exif Print (Exchangeable Image File Format 2.2) is an international digital imaging
standard that simplifies digital photography and enhances printed photographs. When
a photograph is taken with an Exif Print-enabled digital camera, Exif Print captures
information such as exposure time, type of flash, and color saturation, and stores it in
the image's file. The HP Deskjet printer software then uses this information to
automatically perform image specific enhancements, resulting in outstanding
photographs.
Printing Exif Print-enhanced photos requires:
●
A digital camera that supports Exif Print
