Comparative test Canon Pixma iP100 vs. HP Officejet H470: Print speed: Photo-, graphics- and text-print
Both mobiles print texts and text with graphic elements fairly fast.
The documents we use for these tests (except for ISO-documents) can be found and downloaded here.
Print speed: Text
Both mobiles, Canon Pixma iP100 and HP Officejet H470, are tested with several different text documents and varying driver settings.
- ISO 10561, Dr. Grauert: A simple one-page B/W text without graphics. This we use to test the time for FPO (first page out) and maximum speed in copy-mode.
- Ten-page business-document: Ten pages with text, a company logo, a table, and a pie chart. This is printed in three qualities: Draft, normal, and high quality.
Dr.-Grauert: ISO 10561.
Time for FPO (first page out)
The most frequent print job is a one page document. So it´s important to know the time the mobiles need for this task. The lab performs this test without a change in the printer drivers.
Copy mode
In copy mode (print one page x-fold) the lab prints the ISO 10561 document ("Dr. Grauert") 11 times. After print of the first page timing begins, until the last page is out. The drivers are set to "Draft", "Fast mode", "Ink or toner save", whatever applies.
The speed in copy mode informs you, how fast the mobile can print in a best-case-scenario.

|---|---|---|
| First page | Copy mode | |
| Canon Pixma iP100 | 13 Sek. | 10,5 ppm |
| HP Officejet H470 | 16 Sek. | 13,3 ppm |

Print speed: Photos and graphics
Two photos of different sizes and one graphic are used to test print speed.
Both photos are printed in best quality mode on photo paper. The grahic is printed on high grade inkjet paper.
- The photo on the right side, 10 x 15 cm, borderless print,
- one A4 photo with border (left, below) and
- one A4 graphic (right, below)
