Increasing the Print Speed
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 faster print speed.
Even if your document requires the highest resolution and
extensive use of color, for example when 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).
