ISO ppm is based on the international standard for measuring print speed. Black and color print speeds are determined in default, single-side mode, in accordance with ISO/IEC 24734. Black and color two-sided print speeds are determined in two-sided mode, in accordance with ISO/IEC 24734. Actual print times will vary based on system configuration, software, and page complexity.

Costumer Reviews
This is one great big printer. It's heavy too. That being said, it beats my HP laser printer hands down for both cost of copies and the quality of copies. Epson, with this black beauty has really figured out what people want in a printer. Then want right black and white copies and they want stunning color and in those regards, this printer really delivers.
As for hooking it up to my Mac system, it took less than ten minutes from out of the box to actually printing and most of that time was spent in removing the protective tape from the printer. If you thought you needed laser to get good, clean and fast copies, think again.
Setup for the Epson WP-4020 was easy enough, but it was still a long process. A USB cable (not included) and software installation are required if you need to manually configure the printer's wi-fi settings for your network. The printer also supports Wi-fi Protected Setup for those who have and use the feature in their routers.
When I first turned the printer on, it went through a 10+ minute long initialization process, during which it made all sorts of terrible noises. Don't worry, it's supposed to do that. Once it was done, I downloaded and installed the latest version of the Epson software from their website and went through their setup wizard. It provides you with paths for the different connection options: direct USB, wi-fi, and network cable. I chose the manual wi-fi setup option, which prompted me to select my wireless network and enter my WPA key. I noticed during this step that the WP-4020 did not detect my router's 5GHz wireless-N band, so I had to go with 2.4GHz. Once the network was configured and the drivers installed, the printer was immediately detected and usable.
Once the printer is setup, you don't actually need the software anymore. I was able to install the WP-4020 on a separate Windows 7 computer by just adding a network printer and pointing it to the drivers that I had downloaded. However, the Epson software is actually pretty good for monitoring ink levels and running diagnostics, so it doesn't hurt to install it on at least one computer.
Pros:
+ Great print quality.
+ Very fast and quiet printing.
+ Relatively easy setup with software that's actually pretty decent.
+ Supposedly very economical with ink.
+ Supports USB 2.0, 10/100 ethernet, and 2.4GHz wireless B/G/N. Also supports Apple Airprint.
+ Full-duplex printing!
Cons:
- The starting kit is a bit stingy. My black ink level is at about 1/3 full and the maintenance kit is at about 2/3. As usual, no USB cable, but you'll need one if you want to manually configure the wi-fi settings.
- Not really a huge issue, but it's a pretty large printer, especially if you plan to use it at home.
- Again, this is kind of a small issue, but the build quality feels cheap. The various trays feel flimsy and don't click in as smoothly as I would like.
- A bit expensive as of 12/2011, but I think it's a fairly new printer so the price should eventually go down a bit.
- As of 12/2011, I haven't found any 3rd-party options for ink.
