From Epson's website I have copied from the "Detailed Specs" tab the printing speeds for both the P9000 and the 9900. It seems as if the P9000 is slower on the 20" x 30" prints and much slower on the 40" x 60" prints. Are we able to make a comparison here based on the data given?

First of all the print speeds for the P9000,
Printer Speeds (1)
16" x 20" prints from 2:02 to 6:58
Production is 4:16
20" x 30" prints from 3:40 to 12:25
Production is 7:36
40" x 60" prints from 11:15 to 40:05
Production is 24:20
(1) Print times are based upon print engine speeds only. Total throughput depends upon front-end driver/RIP, file size, printing resolution, ink coverage, network speed, etc. Normal is for prints imaged using 1440x720 high-speed mode.
9900
Print Engine Speed (A)
Print Mode 20" x 30 40" x 60"
Fine - 720 dpi HS* 5:03 7:14
SuperFine - 1440 dpi HS* 6:39 12:52
SuperPhoto - 2880 dpi HS* 12:52 40:05
(A) Based upon print engine speed only. Total throughput times depend upon front-end RIP CPU Speed, file size, printer resolution, ink coverage, networking, etc. Typical proofing will be printed at 1,440 x 1,440 dpi HS.
