printing speed

Printing speed refers to how quickly a printer can produce pages, typically measured in pages per minute (PPM). A higher PPM indicates a faster printer, capable of completing larger jobs in less time. Factors influencing speed include the printer type (e.g., laser or inkjet), complexity of the print (text, images, color), and machine capabilities. For example, a 20 PPM printer can print 20 pages every minute, while a 60 PPM printer can produce three times as many pages in the same period. This measure helps users determine how efficiently a printer can handle their workload.
