Even if your document requires the highest resolution and
extensive use of color, for example when 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.

The following table shows the factors that inversely affect print
speed and print quality (increasing one will decrease the other).
