Abstract
This invention relates to a method for varying a printing speed based upon ink/toner dry time profiles, comprising the steps of: determining a gloss reading of an ink/toner located on a media; determining an actual ink/toner dry time profile for the media; determining the type of media; and adjusting, if possible, a printing speed of a printing device that is utilizing the ink/toner.
Claims12
A method for varying a printing speed based upon ink/toner dry time profiles, comprising the steps of:
- determining a gloss reading of an ink/toner located on a media;
- determining an actual ink/toner dry time profile for the media;
- determining the type of media;
- and
- adjusting, if possible, a printing speed of a printing device that is utilizing the ink/toner.
