competitive test suites
competitive test suites
Laser-Quality Speed (LQS) is an HP -developed specification that helps customers
compare the print speeds of HP Business Inkjets with HP Color LaserJets.
LQS benchmarks the page-per-minute speeds of the HP Business Inkjet series
printers against the HP Color LaserJets at comparable print quality. This
comparison is based solely on the internal tests of HP. Performance benchmarking
is done on the basis of:
• Total of 40 plus mono and color files fr om more than 10 popular office
applications
• Total of more than 220 pages (16% b/w, 84% color)
The parameters are:
• Typical applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Netscape Navigator,
Acrobat, Lotus Notes, Internet Explorer, Publisher, Corel Draw, Pho toshop,
Freelance Graphics, and Adobe Illustrator
• Complexity
• Length
Benefits of LQS
The benefits of LQS are:
• Fair Comparison : LQS provides a reasonable standard to compare an HP
Business Inkjet against an HP Color LaserJet without the benefit of having an
industry standard speed specification across LaserJet and Inkjet.
• Robust Testing : Using a complete suite of representative office applications,
document lengths and complexities, ensure that Business Inkjets deliver
according to customer experiences.
Applications Used in the Competitive Speed Test Suites
This benchmarking suite is HP-managed and consists of internal and externally
sourced customer representative files. The suite is designed to be a representative
of documents created using typical applica tions, which are similar in complexity
and length, printed using a shared color printer.
