Comments on the Value of ISO Yield Standards from the Printer Industry
Many printer companies now have sections of their websites that explain why they support ISO Yield Standards for cartridge yield, and how they encourage consumers to use the data. Some even allow you to download the actual ISO report. Remember, these are competing printer companies that are now using a common methodology to report the yield of their cartridges! This is great stuff for consumers.
Typically, if you just search for “ISO Yield” on a printer or cartridge manufacturer’s web site, you will find information like this (if they support these standards).
QualityLogic offers yield testing services to OEMs that give 3rd party, independent confirmation for their yield claims. Take a look at some of the yield testing results we have documented:
