Comparative Test of 8 MFCs with Fax: Quality and Speed of Text-print
Seite
Mischdokument mit 10 Seiten: dc business 10seiten.doc.To test quality and speed of text-print our lab uses two standardized documents: The "Dr.-Grauert-letter", a simple text to test print-speed when copying and to find out, whether or not the manufacturer is exaggerating when specifying print speed. A slightly different version of this letter can be found in our download-area.
In the second test we print a 10-page document, mainly text, but also containing a company logo, a small table, and a diagram. This document is printed in three modes:
- fast print (lowest resolution / b/w-print)
- normal print (no change in the driver) and in
- best print (highest resolution on plain paper)
The pictures below show the letter a in "normal print".
Print speed
The table below shows, what the manufactures specified compared to what DC found out. Speed is stated in ppm (pages per minute).
