Increasing the Print Speed
Follow the instructions in this section to increase the printing
speed of your printer.
General tips
Just as printing at a high resolution requires more processing
time, printing in color takes longer than printing in black because
the volume of data in a color document is much greater. For this
reason, it is important to be selective in your use of color if you
also require a fast print speed.
However, even if your document requires the highest resolution
and extensive use of color, for example when you are printing a
camera-ready composite that includes color photographs, it may
still be possible to optimize the print speed by adjusting other
printing conditions. Keep in mind that changing some conditions
to increase the print speed may also lower print quality.
The following table shows the factors that inversely affect print
speed and print quality (increasing one will decrease the other).
