Printing Speed On our business applications suite, (using QualityLogic's hardware and software for timing), I timed the C1760nw at an effective 4.8 pages per minute (ppm) a decent speed and good for its 15 page per minute monochrome and 12 page per minute color printing rating that is based on printing text documents without graphics or photos-our test suite includes text pages, graphics pages, and pages with mixed content.
