There are hundreds of companies manufacturing, re-manufacturing, and refilling toner, ink and thermal cartridges, as well as manufacturing all types of paper for today’s printer products. Do you know how these products perform on your printer, compared to your consumables? QualityLogic can help you establish your position in the market with comprehensive, thorough, professional consumables testing services.

Print Quality

Using pages designed by QualityLogic (or other third-party pages), we will compare the print quality of your cartridge to third-party cartridges. Our real world pages contain text, graphics and images that are representative of the way your customers print. We will evaluate common electrophotographic quality issues such as fade, streaking, and uneven density, as well as common ink jet issues such as color bleed, banding, and mottle.

Reliability

How consistently do your cartridges perform compared to third-party cartridges? Are there issues with ink or toner leakage that cause damage to the printer? How well does your packaging protect your cartridges compared to third party packaging? Unreliable cartridges incur all kinds of hidden costs, in addition to the obvious lost yield. Printer downtime, operator intervention for troubleshooting, cartridge replacement and cleanup can cost far more than the faulty cartridge itself.

QualityLogic’s consumables testing service will compare these aspects of your consumables to your competitors’ and provide you with data that you can use to really measure the cost of using your consumables.

See the wide variety of ways HP is using QualityLogic consumables reliability test results to differentiate their ink and toner cartridges:

• Compare refilled ink quality to original HP ink cartridges
• Compare remanufactured quality to original HP color toner
• Why buy HP - supplies reliability
• Maximize your printer
• Original HP print cartridges and paper - why they matter
• HP Print quality

Yield

QualityLogic will determine the number of good pages that your cartridge and third party cartridges produce. We will also measure how consistently the cartridges produce these yields, not by running one cartridge with one page type, but by running several cartridges with real world pages.

Total Cost of Ownership

The number of acceptable pages per cartridge, combined with the time it takes to order the cartridge, how reliable cartridges are when received, and how many interventions the operator must make due to poor quality all contribute to the real cost of the cartridge – the total cost of ownership. QualityLogic will report the real cost associated with using various manufacturer’s cartridges.

Accurate Results

To ensure the accuracy of your results, we rely on numerous industry standard test procedures. We integrate recommendations from the International Safe Transit Association (ISTA), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) with our own proven test procedures to give you the best data possible.
