Overclock Epson printer ? What makes a printer speedy ?

[Tom]

Hi,

My beloved Epson 580 only suffers from its speed (well, lack of, I mean).

I wonder if there's a way to "overclock" a printer.

I mean, what makes a difference in speed between two printers, say Epson.
Is it just a different motor ? If so, is it really cheaper to have so many
different motors as speed increases in the range. Is it build-in memory ?
Could the printer be slowed down because its "cheap" build would not bear
greater speed, like processors are (tested to give them their actual
speed).

Thanks.

The most common reason one printer is faster is that it has a larger print
head, more nozzels and can lay down a wider stripe of ink per pass.
