Printing Speed Versus Color

The BJC-4300 Printer Driver for Windows can interpret and translate the full spectrum of
colors, up to 16.7 million colors. When printing in color, there is a significant increase in the
amount of information that the driver has to interpret and translate. When printing black ink
only, the driver has only one color to interpret.
By decreasing the amount of colors that the printer driver has to interpret, you can
significantly decrease the time needed to translate the information. This will speed up the
overall printing process.

allow the printer driver to interpret and translate 256 colors, which will increase your
printing speed. However, your print quality will not be optimized.
