22、 cartridges and ink cartridges without integrated printheads) for colour photo printing with colour inkjet printers. This International Standard can be applied to colour inkjet printers having an interface to a computer as well as colour inkjet printers that cannot be connected to a computer. This I
23、nternational Standard can also be applied to the inkjet printer component of any multifunctional device that has a digital input printing path, including multi-function devices that contain inkjet printer components. Both liquid and solid ink products can be tested using this International Standard.
24、 The cartridge photo yields of primary cartridges are determined by an end of life judgment, or signalled with either of two phenomena: fade, caused by depletion of ink in the cartridge, or automatic printing stop, caused by an Ink Out detection function. The cartridge photo yields of supplemental c
25、artridges are estimated. It is envisioned that one of the uses of this International Standard will be for the calculation of cost per page (CPP). While this International Standard measures a portion of this cost, it is not used as the sole component of CPP calculation. Additional factors need to be
26、considered for accurate CPP calculations.

27、jet printer components 1 Scope The purpose of this International Standard is to provide a method to determine the ink cartridge photo yield of ink-containing cartridges (i.e. integrated ink cartridges and ink cartridges without integrated printheads) for colour photo printing with colour inkjet prin
28、ters and multifunction devices that contain inkjet printer components. In the case where a cartridge set can be used in multiple printer models, only one yield test needs to be performed as long as the difference between printer models does not impact yield. NOTE A cartridge supplier may choose to u
29、se more than one market identifier for a single physical cartridge. In this case only one yield test is required as long as there are no differences in the cartridges other than market identifiers. This International Standard prescribes the following: the test method that manufacturers, test laborat
30、ories, etc. use to determine ink cartridge photo yield; the method for determination of declared photo yield values from the test results; and the appropriate method of describing the photo yield of cartridges in documentation supplied to the consumer by the manufacturer. This International Standard
31、 is only intended for the determination of ink cartridge photo yield. No other claims can be made from this testing regarding quality, reliability, etc. This International Standard can be used to determine the yield of any cartridge that is used during the printing of the photo test file defined in
32、ISO/IEC 29103. This International Standard is not for use with printers whose minimum printable size is equal to or greater than A3. This International Standard is not intended to measure the yield of photo printing on paper size larger than 46, L or A6. In addition, this International Standard is n
33、ot for use with industrial printers or point of sale printers. It only applies to desktop printing systems. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

36、nt, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 fade phenomenon in which a significant colour change occurs due to ink depletion Note 1 to entry: If a printer exhibits fade, a five minute pause is allowed to provide for recovery of the ink delivery system and printing can continue. If fade appear
37、s on the next page, then the cartridge is judged at end of life and the additional page printed after the five minute pause is not counted in the yield calculation. If fade does not appear on the next page, then printing can continue until the next fade or ink out is encountered. Note 2 to entry: Fo
38、r examples of fade, please consult Annex A. Note 3 to entry: In some printer systems, fade can occur prematurely due to the way that ink is provided to the printing system. Note 4 to entry: It can be helpful to use the first photo test suite print samples from the first cartridge set for colour comp
39、arison. Note 5 to entry: A blue light source (such as a blue LED) can be used to help in the detection of yellow fade. 3.2 streak thin lines of colour that appear in test images Note 1 to entry: Streaks differ from fade in the width. Note 2 to entry: If streaks occur in two or more out of four conse
40、cutive test pages, then a streak removal operation is required. Note 3 to entry: Streaks can appear due to a number of reasons; thermal issues and clogged nozzles being two of the main causes. Comparisons are made using the phenomenon sample provided in Annex B. 3.3 streak removal operation procedur
41、e used to restore the print performance by removing streaks Note 1 to entry: It is often called a nozzle cleaning operation. Note 2 to entry: If streaks are observed in two or more out of four consecutive test pages, first the printer can be left idle for five minutes. Then an additional four pages
42、are printed. If the streaks are still observed, then a streak removal operation is conducted according to the latest printer manufacturer documentation. Due to the significant amount of ink that is used for cleaning, the maximum permissible number of times that the streak removal operation can be us
43、ed on a given cartridge is prescribed in 5.2.1. All test pages printed during this process will be included in the page count for determining the yield. 3.4 printhead alignment operation function that aligns newly installed printheads Note 1 to entry: If it is mandatory according to the latest print
44、er manufacturer documentation, this operation is performed during testing. The pages used in the alignment procedure are not counted in the measurement of yield. 3.5 ink low warning generated by the printing system when it has determined that the amount of ink is such that a cartridge change may be
45、required soon Note 1 to entry: It does not indicate that the system is out of ink.2 ISO/IEC 2015 All rights reservedBS ISO/IEC 29102:2015ISO/IEC 29102:2015(E) 3.6 ink out signal generated by the printing system when the usable ink in the system is depleted and the printer stops printing 3.7 end of l
46、ife condition determined by one of two mechanisms: fade (3.1) or ink out (3.6) Note 1 to entry: For cartridges containing multiple colour inks, end of life is defined when the first colour exhibits fade or ink out. In the event that the printer can continue printing after ink out is reported, the ca
47、rtridge will still be considered at end of life. 3.8 end of testing point of time when all of primary cartridges are consumed three times per printer under testing 3.9 photo test suite series of pages defined in ISO/IEC 29103 that are printed as separate jobs 3.10 individual cartridge photo yield nu
48、mber of pages printed between cartridge installation and end of life 3.11 declared cartridge photo yield at or below the lower 90 % confidence bound of the mean Note 1 to entry: 90 % confidence bound of the mean is prescribed in 6.1 and 6.2. 3.12 primary cartridge major contributing cartridge for in
49、k consumption Note 1 to entry: The minimum number of primary cartridges to be tested for different printing systems is prescribed in 4.2. Cartridges that reach end of life (3.7) first are classified as primary cartridges. They should be consumed at least three times per printer at end of testing (3.8). Note 2 to entry: Colour inkjet printers commonly utilize a set of different colour inks to improve quality of photo images. The number of different colour inks ranges from three to
