Speed In purchasing anything from cars to PCs, speed has and will always be a consideration. This factor is even more relevant now as the demands of the world have made people struggle to fit everything into their day. The last thing they want is to waste time. Different models have different print speeds depending on the print technologies they operate on. However, you'll find that printers using the same technologies may also perform differently. Everything, from the device driver to the form of connectivity, can affect the speed at which the unit renders its output. In the realm of electronics, performance is a matter of tradeoffs. Printers made for photo printing alone will churn out photo-quality outputs fast in comparison with other models, but may in turn produce monochrome prints slower. Also, bear in mind that having a fast printer may not always be good, especially now that some models are able to print faster than the ink has time to dry! You'll end up with ink smudges when printing on more than one sheet; the subsequent pages will rub against the freshly printed pieces while they're being printed on. Speed in the print world is measured in pages per minute (ppm), where
larger is better. But always take note of the fine print that these
ratings carry. They may not be comparable from model to model, depending
on the test conditions. | ||||
