IPM (Images Per Minute)

A measurement of printing speed for documents with graphics and images, typically slower than PPM.

Detailed Explanation

Images Per Minute measures the speed at which a copier can print pages containing graphics, images, or mixed content. IPM is typically lower than PPM (Pages Per Minute) because images require more processing and data transfer. This metric provides a more realistic expectation of performance for everyday document printing that includes charts, logos, and graphics.
