Printing Speed Versus Color The BJC-70 printer driver for Windows can interpret and translate the full spectrum of colors, up to 16.7 million colors. When printing in color, there is a significant increase in the amount of information that the driver has to interpret and translate. When printing in 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. The BJC-70 printer driver includes a printing mode that allows it to interpret and translate only 256 colors; this decreases the amount of time your computer needs to compute information and therefore increases your printing speed.
