How Epson Measures Ink Jet Print Speeds

ISO/IEC 24734, or "Laser Quality Print Speeds"

In 2009, the ink jet printer industry adopted a new international standard for measuring print speeds. This standard, known as ISO/IEC 24734, is the most reliable method to test print speeds of ink jet printers, all-in-ones and lasers under standard conditions.

ISO/IEC 24734 print speeds, which Epson terms laser quality print speeds, gives an "apples-to-apples" speed comparison across all printer manufacturers. This permits consumers to compare print speeds from various manufacturers, having confidence that all manufacturers used the same method of measurement.

Maximum Print/Copy Speeds

In addition to laser quality print speeds, Epson also provides "maximum" print speeds for text and photo printing. This refers to speeds measured in Draft Mode.
