Increasing the Print Speed

Making general speed adjustments

Just as printing at a high resolution requires more processing
time, printing in color takes longer than printing in black-and-
white because the volume of data in a color document is much
greater. Accordingly, it is important to be selective in your use of
color if you 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 making changes to increase the print speed may
also lower print quality. See the tables in this section to make
necessary adjustments.
The following table shows the factors that inversely affect print
speed and print quality (increasing one decreases the other).
