Speed
The speed a printer prints at is measured in pages per minute (ppm) with black & white printing being much faster than colour. Most standard inkjet printers are capable of printing at least 8 ppm in colour and 8 ppm in black and white. A standard laser will be faster, printing around 15 black and white pages per minute. |
