You will probably hear that it depends on your industry and document length and paper size and if you print more color or more black and white, and so on. Good question! You will probably never get the same answer twice, even from the sales team here at A&A. So Then What Print Speed is Right For Me? Read More: How Do I Recycle My Toner and Ink Cartridges? Typical desktop printers are at the lower end of the spectrum, but suffice for the occasional email, report, term paper, or recipe.įor anything more than the occasional black and white document, a copier or multifunction printer is your ticket to the PPM fast lane! MFPs run the gamut from 25 PPM up to 90 PPM, and the speed you want for your business or organization is largely dependent on your print volume. Again, this is, just pages of black text. Inkjet printers usually have a PPM rate of 3 to 13 PPM, while laserjet printers tend to run faster with rates between 12 and 20 PPM. However, not all do, and the standard itself states that it is not a replacement for a manufacturer's rated speeds.Ĭommercial desktop printers, such as those you might find in a small business or in a home office, run the range from 3 pages per minute to 20, depending on the model and the print method. Some manufacturers adhere to the Method for measuring digital printing productivity governed by the International Standards Organization, or ISO, in ISO/IEC 24734:2014. It's important to know that PPM refers to standard letter pages of plain black text, and not color images, or a combination of any of these things on paper larger than 8.5x11.
Where's the fun in that? There's more to learn! Three years later, I like to think I know maybe a couple things, but at the beginning, I had questions that seemed so obvious, I felt sheepish to ask in the first place.įor example, I actually had to raise my hand and ask, "What does PPM mean on a printer?" Thankfully, I work at an pretty understanding company, and I was gently informed that PPM means "pages per minute." I didn't know that! Simple, right? Thanks for Googling! We'll see you next time here on The A&A Blog. When I first started working at A&A Office Systems, I'll admit, I didn't know a single thing about copiers, printers or MFPs.
