Printing Speed Versus Color
The MultiPASS Printer Driver for Windows can interpret and translate
the full spectrum of colors, up to 16.7 million colors. When printing
color, there is a significant increase in the amount of information that
the driver has to interpret and translate. When printing black ink only,
the driver has only one color to interpret.
By decreasing the amount of colors that the printer driver has to
interpret, you can significantly decrease the time needed to translate the
information. This will speed up the overall printing process.
