**Print speed indicates an approximate batch print speed and is measured form the time a card feeds into the printer to the time it ejects from the printer.  Print speeds do not include encoding time or the time needed for the PC to process the image.  Process time is dependent on the size of the file, the CPU, amount of RAM and the amount of available resources at the time of the print. (Note that single card print speeds will be slower than the batch print speeds listed above since batch print speed is enhanced by the printer's multi-tasking capabilities when printing multiple cards in succession)
