Printing Speed Versus Color, For Quick Color Printing | Canon C3500

Printing Speed Versus Color

The MultiPASS Printer Driver for Windows can interpret and translate the full spectrum of colors, up to 16.7 million colors. When printing color, there is a significant increase in the amount of information that the driver has to interpret and translate. When printing black ink only, the driver has only one color to interpret.

By decreasing the amount of colors that the printer driver has to interpret, you can significantly decrease the time needed to translate the information. This will speed up the overall printing process.

NYou select the settings described below using the Windows tabs of the MultiPASS Printer Driver. See Using the Windows Tabs starting on page 2-8 for details.
