Why are inkjet printers faster in black than in colour? Surely black is just one of the inks, like cyan, magenta, and yellow. Since the heads are independant, why would black only be faster? Is there a ****ty processor in the printers that's slower than the 4 heads combined?

If you check the specs for your printer you will find;

Nozzle Configuration
90 Nozzles Black, 29 Nozzles per Color

now work it out for yourself.

So they cut back on the colour head cost I guess, and kept the extra black nozzles so the printer can be really fast at text without costing much more?
