Will my printing speed affect my printing colour quality?

PPM, which stands for pages per minute, does not affect printing quality. This is a common misconception.

The higher the PPM, the faster the photocopier is.

Instead, print quality is affected by DPI (dots per inch), colour accuracy, toner or ink quality, and colour calibration.

What affects print quality?

DPI (dots per inch)

The number of dots inside an inch of the print. It measures the printer's resolution and detail.

Colour accuracy

How faithfully the printer reproduces colours.

Toner or ink quality

Affects colour consistency, vibrancy and output.

Colour calibration

Helps ensure accurate and consistent colour reproduction.

Choosing a model for your office

Each model is optimised for different purposes. For example, the Fujifilm [model] has a PPM of [X] and is good for high colour accuracy, with a large toner. In contrast, the Canon [model] has a PPM of [X] but does not have as high colour accuracy.

Depending on what your office prints, we can recommend a specific model tailored to your office's needs.
