Kodak has been a customer of QualityLogic’s for several years and uses several QualityLogic testing products to help validate its printing products. In the fall of 2006, Kodak approached QualityLogic with a request to perform a comparative test to validate the ink yield of its soon-to-be-released EASYSHARE All-in-One Printers.

QualityLogic is a member of ISO INCITS W1, the committee that developed the technically robust, consensus-driven international standard for measuring print cartridge yields. QualityLogic participated in the development of these standards and fully supports the standards that are approved for color ink and toner yield, monochrome ink yield, and monochrome toner yield. All but one of the companies whose printers were tested by QualityLogic for Kodak are also members of this committee.

The following are key provisions of these standards for inkjet and color toner cartridge yield (taken from the recent ISO press release announcing their approval of the standard):

Standard test document suite: Use of a standard suite of five pages printed in a controlled environment with printer default settings.
Number of cartridges tested: A minimum of nine of each cartridge is tested until they reach end of life, allowing reliable estimates of average predicted yield within statistically defined boundaries.
Source for cartridges: Cartridges and printers used represent those available to customers on the open market.
Clear, objective, end-of-life criteria: Determine cartridge yield using a well-defined end-of-life criterion.
Number of printers: A minimum of three cartridge sets are tested on three different printers to avoid bias due to printer variability.
Controlled environment: Printing environment is controlled and consistent because variations can affect yield.
Objectivity: Because of worldwide and industry-wide participation, the testing criteria reflect objectivity in developing a reliable and rigorous standard.

ISO/IEC 24711 was used for this test to measure both color ink yield using the ISO/IEC 24712 color test suite and monochrome ink yield using the ISO/IEC 19752 test suite.

ISO is currently working on a standard for measuring photo ink yield, which QualityLogic is following closely. In the interim, QualityLogic developed its own Color Photo Cartridge Yield Test Methodology, which closely follows the standards that have been released. This methodology has been used by QualityLogic for more than a year and was used for this test.
