22、 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 International Standard can also be applied to the inkjet printer component of any multifuncti
23、onal 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.The cartridge photo yields of primary cartridges are determined by an end of life judgment,
24、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 cartridges are estimated. It is envisioned that one of the uses of this International Standard
25、 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 considered for accurate CPP calculations. ISO/IEC 2015 All rights reserved vBS ISO/IEC 29102:
26、2015BS ISO/IEC 29102:2015Information technology Office equipment Method for the determination of ink cartridge photo yield for colour printing with inkjet printers and multi-function devices that contain inkjet printer components1 ScopeThe purpose of this International Standard is to provide a metho
27、d 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 printers and multifunction devices that contain inkjet printer components. In the case where a cart
28、ridge 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 use more than one market identifier for a single physical cartridge. In this case only one yield
29、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 laboratories, etc. use to determine ink cartridge photo yield; the method for determination of declared
30、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 is only intended for the determination of ink cartridge photo yield. No other claims can be made
31、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 ISO/IEC 29103.This International Standard is not for use with printers whose minimum printable size
32、 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 not for use with industrial printers or point of sale printers. It only applies to desktop printing s
33、ystems.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

36、due to ink depletionNote 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 appears on the next page, then the cartridge is judged at end of life and the additional page printed after the five m
37、inute 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: For examples of fade, please consult Annex A.Note 3 to entry: In some printer systems, fade can occur prematurely d
38、ue 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 comparison.Note 5 to entry: A blue light source (such as a blue LED) can be used to help in the detection of yellow fad
39、e.3.2streakthin lines of colour that appear in test imagesNote 1 to entry: Streaks differ from fade in the width.Note 2 to entry: If streaks occur in two or more out of four consecutive test pages, then a streak removal operation is required.Note 3 to entry: Streaks can appear due to a number of rea
40、sons; thermal issues and clogged nozzles being two of the main causes. Comparisons are made using the phenomenon sample provided in Annex B.3.3streak removal operationprocedure used to restore the print performance by removing streaksNote 1 to entry: It is often called a nozzle cleaning operation.No
41、te 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 are printed. If the streaks are still observed, then a streak removal operation is conducted according to the latest printer ma
42、nufacturer 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 used on a given cartridge is prescribed in 5.2.1. All test pages printed during this process will be included in the page count f

46、, end of life is defined when the first colour exhibits fade or ink out.

Cartridges that reach
49、 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 more than 10. Ink usages of different colours are not designed to be uniform. In order to maintain testing time and cost at a reasonable level, the definition of primary cartridges is introduced in this Inte
