In this mode, both mono text and our illustrated business documents looked fantastic, but its cost and slow speed mean that the R3000 will never be anyone’s first choice for document printing. Quality mode produced print speeds of 2.3ppm for mono text and a somewhat agonising 1.6ppm for colour prints. We recommend making all prints in Quality mode, as draft mode wasn't all that fast at 5.4ppm and produced grey text with rather jagged edges. There are only two quality modes available for plain paper prints: Speed (draft quality) and Quality (high quality). Print speeds are still rather slow, but quality is good and we had no trouble loading paper. However, it handles plain paper documents well.


The R3000, like most other serious photo printers, isn't designed with document printing in mind.
