#ProPage Printing.
4 messages in this thread
can anyone out there give a rough guide:
I've got a 1500 + HD + 5Mb RAM … when I print from ProPage it takes
about 10 mins for 300dpi full page document … what's the best method to
speed it up? … can you please include the time taken per page with your
advice … CHEERS!!

Dano,
What type of printer are you using and what sort of image are you
printing, text, graphics, both ?

Daniel,
How long does it take before your printer starts printing, and then
does your printer pause between passes? In other words, is the backlog
your printer's speed, or the amount of time it takes to figure out the page
before it starts to print.

Dano,
First possibility is to get a faster Amiga. 1500 – isn't that like an
A2000? Real slow at doing bitmap printing at 300 dpi. You don't want to
wait for ProPage to do dotmatrix printing at 600 dpi!
Second possibility is move up to a postscript printer. This takes the
burden off the computer and makes the printer do all the work. ProPage is
MUCH quicker at finishing print jobs. Course, the speed of the postscript
printer will play a role here, too!
