Epson’s Method for Measuring Inkjet Printing Speed

The inkjet printer industry follows multiple international ISO standards for measuring print speed. Epson evaluates printing performance in accordance with these ISO standards—including, but not limited to, ISO/IEC 24734—to ensure that print speeds for inkjet printers, all-in-one printers, and laser printers are measured under consistent and standardized conditions.

ISO/IEC 24734 International Standard

ISO print speeds, also known as ISO/IEC 24734 print speeds, give an “apples-to-apples” speed comparison across various models for all printer manufacturers using the same method of measurement. This allows consumers to gauge the true performance of printers, in order to accurately identify a product that will match their needs.

Methodology

Black and color print speeds are determined in default, single-side mode in accordance with ISO/IEC 24734. Actual print times will vary based on system configurations, software version, and page complexity.

Test Patterns Used

A set of four pages are printed in various formats (Word®, Excel®, and Adobe® Reader) to test black and color print speeds.
