Highly "dense" documents, such as the text document below, may cause cartridges to yield fewer pages than the ISO standard, while less dense ones such as the organisation chart below will typically cause the cartridge to yield more pages than the standard. Products produced prior to this continue to use HP's proprietary yield test method.Īctual yield that a customer experiences can vary depending upon the printed content on the page. HP adopted these standards for color printers that were introduced after the publication of the standard at the end of 2006.
The five standard pages shown below consist of a mix of text and graphics, and a mix of black and color. Under the ISO/IEC 19798 testing guidelines, a standard set of five pages is printed continuously until the cartridge reaches end-of-life. HP's printer packaging will indicate whether introductory cartridges are included with the printer.įigure 1: ISO/IEC 19752 Standard Test Page HP color printer declared yield is determined using the ISO/IEC 19798 test methodology Some HP printers include an "introductory cartridge" in the printer box, which may print less than HP replacement cartridges. Previous to the introduction of the ISO/IEC yield methodologies, HP had its own proprietary yield test methodology based on 5% coverage which used a methodology similar in many ways to the ISO yield methodology. ISO provides different methodologies for testing color and monochrome printer yields. The specific ISO/IEC standard used depends upon whether the printer is a monochrome or color device. In recent years, LaserJet Printer and Multi Functional Product yield data has been calculated using standard ISO test methodologies. For more information see How toner is used. Additionally, actual yield varies considerably based on factors such as the content of printed pages, typical printer job size, the environmental conditions during operation and the amount of color printing relative to monochrome printing. Individual cartridges can perform above and below this average due to variation in the cartridge manufacturing process. Rather, page yield data is meant to estimate the average yield expected from a particular cartridge when measured using the ISO test methodology in connection with a designated printer system. Likewise, the declared yield is not intended to be the minimum number of pages that the cartridge will print. For Inkjet printer yields see Page yield data should be used as a starting point for comparison purposes, and not to predict the exact yield you will get from your HP printer and cartridge. For all LaserJet printers and Multi Functional Products sold, HP publishes page yield data for the printer function of these devices.
