Best Answer

Small inkjet printers use "pages per minute" as their rating.

Lasers also use pages per minute, but there you need to add "first page time" because the printer needs some time to calculate the page before it starts printing it.

Wide-format inkjets, the kind you use to print vehicle wraps, are rated in square feet per hour and also linear feet per hour. A roll of media contains 164 linear feet of vinyl; how fast the machine can pull the vinyl through is the linear feet rating.

Impact printers, like daisywheels and dot matrix printers, are rated in characters per second. Dot matrix printers are still available, and are used when you need to print on a multipart form.

The official unit for speed is meters/second. Any other combination of units, where you divide distance/time, may also be used. One such unit that is commonly used is kilometers/hour. Some units used for speed don't explicitly reference distance and time; for example, a certain fraction of the speed of light in a vacuum, or the unit called "knots" which is used for ships.
