General tips
Just as printing at a high resolution requires more processing time
than printing at a low resolution, printing in color takes longer
than printing in black-and-white because the volume of data in a
color document is much greater. For this reason, it is important
to be selective in your use of color if you also require a fast print
speed.
However, even if your document requires the highest resolution
and extensive use of color—for example, when you are 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 changing some conditions
to increase the print speed may also lower print quality.
