PPM or Page Per Minute, is a common method of
measuring the output of a printer, as it determines the speed a printer is
capable of printing. PPM between different printers cannot be compared on a
one-to-one ratio, as you can expect a different PPM number between different
types of printers (lasers or
inkjets) as well as different PPM numbers between
color and black & white print jobs, and the resolution of the image or text
being printed. Most printer manufactures will specify the maximum page per
minute you can expect to achieve with a specific printer model.
