ISO Test Results - Summary

Test Methodology

In order to obtain these yield results, two different methodologies were used in combination with three test suites. This section will detail the common areas between the methodologies, the differences between them, and highlight some key terms from ISO/IEC 24711, 24712, and 19752 that are particularly important to understand when reviewing these yield claims.

Common Methodology and Definitions

Number of Printers Tested	Minimum of three
Number of Cartridges Tested	Minimum of nine of each color
Temperature	Testing room average 23.0ºC ± 2ºC with all running average temperatures between 20.0ºC and 26.0ºC
Humidity	Testing room average 50% ± 10% RH with all running average RH readings between 35% and 65%
Fade	Phenomenon in which a significant reduction in uniformity occurs due to ink depletion
Ink Out	Signal generated by the printing system when the usable ink in the system is depleted and the printer stops printing
End of Life (EOL)	A condition determined by one of two mechanisms: fade or ink out (only if ink out stops printing)
Semi-Continuous Printing	Printing in a continuous manner, pausing only for intra-job servicing, printer calibrations, paper changes, breaks, and end of work days
Declared Cartridge Yield	Cartridge Yield (in pages) that is at or below the lower 90% confidence bound of the average yield
Estimated Supplemental Cartridge Yield	Estimated yield for a supplemental cartridge (real or estimated with use of a proxy) calculated with at least three cartridges
Average Supplemental Cartridge Yield	Average yield for a supplemental cartridge where EOL was reached on at least nine cartridges (three per printer)
Proxy Cartridge	A primary cartridge of the same physical size as a supplemental cartridge which had a starting weight within +/- 10% of the supplemental cartridge starting weight.

Mono Ink Methodology and Definitions – In accordance with ISO/IEC 24711, ISO/IEC 19752

Test Suite	ISO/IEC 19752
Driver Set-up*	See Color Ink Methodology. In addition, if a “Black Only” or “Text Only” mode was available in the driver, it was enabled.
Paper	A4 or 8 ½" x 11" (see individual test reports)
Semi-Continuous Printing	Each copy of the test suite was printed as a separate one-page print job allowing for some intra-job servicing and calibration to take place
Primary Cartridge	The black cartridge or, if no black cartridge was present, the color cartridges that were used to develop composite black.
Supplemental Cartridge	Any installed cartridge except the full density black cartridge, including the full density Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow cartridges, as well as any photo cartridges
Individual Cartridge Yield	The number of test pages printed between cartridge installation and end of life

Color Ink Methodology and Definitions – In accordance with ISO/IEC 24711, ISO IEC 24712

Test Suite	ISO/IEC 24712
Driver Set-up*	All image and print quality modifiers were set to their factory pre-set configuration for the printer and default installed condition for the driver. If auto media detection was available on the printer, it was disabled and media-type set to plain paper.
Paper	A4 or 8 ½" x 11" (see individual test reports)
Semi-Continuous Printing	Each copy of the test suite was printed as a separate five-page print job allowing for some intra-job servicing and calibration to take place
Primary Cartridge	Cartridge containing full density black, cyan, magenta, or yellow, or a combination of full density cyan, magenta and yellow.
Supplemental Cartridge	Cartridge other than the full density cyan, magenta, yellow and black cartridges
Individual Cartridge Yield	Value determined by counting the number of diagnostic pages (last page of the test page suite) printed between cartridge installation and end of life, and multiplying by five

Photo Ink Methodology and Definitions – In accordance with QualityLogic Color Photo Cartridge Yield Test Methodology

Test Suite	QualityLogic Color Photo Suite
Driver Set-up*	The highest print quality mode readily available in the driver was used
Paper	The best photo paper recommended by each manufacturer. A4 or 8 ½" x 11" papers were used to print a borderless 4" x 6" (approximately 10 x 15 cm) photo. (See individual test reports)
Semi-Continuous Printing	Each copy of the test suite was printed as a separate 10-page print job allowing for some intra-job servicing and calibration to take place
Primary Cartridge	Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Photo cartridges or any cartridges containing these colors were considered as primary cartridges. In addition, any other cartridge that exhausted nine or more cartridges during the execution of nine of the above cartridges was considered as primary.
Supplemental Cartridge	Any cartridge installed in the printer while printing photos that did not meet the definition of a primary cartridge was considered a supplemental cartridge
Individual Cartridge Yield	The number of test pages printed between cartridge installation and end of life
