Speed & Quality Results
Print Speed
For this class of printers, speed is probably not the utmost concern for the user. A few additional seconds here and there are easily forgiven if the printout turned out to be great. That being said, printing a 4R photo via the R3000's top-loading feeder took about 42 seconds, which is pretty fast. An A4 print took under two minutes. Going all the way up to A3+, our stopwatch clocked slightly over four minutes per photo. So if you're going to print a set of 30 A3+ photos for an exhibition, remember to set aside roughly two hours.

In a nutshell, the R3000 delivers scintillating print quality. Those who spend time tweaking it (through paper and printer profiling) will be rewarded even further.
