A Based upon print engine speed only. Total throughput times depend upon front-end
RIP, file size, printer resolution, ink coverage, networking, etc. All print speeds are
based upon bi-directional printing.
B Cartridge yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type,
frequency of use and temperature. For print quality, a variable amount of ink remains
in the cartridge after the "Replace cartridge" indicator comes on. The printer ships with
a full set of cartridges and part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for priming
the printer. Printer ships with 350 ml cartridges.
