Method for the determination of ink cartridge yield for colour inkjet printers and multi-function devices that contain printer components 4DIN ISO/IEC 24711:2013-03 In
19、troduction The purpose of this International Standard is to provide a process for determining the ink cartridge yield for a given colour inkjet printer model (i.e. integrated ink cartridges and ink cartridges without integrated printheads) using a standard consumer type test suite. Ink cartridge yie
20、lds determined on one printer model and cartridge configuration are not applicable to another printer model or cartridge configuration even if the ink jet cartridges used in testing are the same. This test page suite is not focused on printing of photographs, but is intended to be a sampling of typi
21、cal business consumer pages. This International Standard prescribes the following: the test method that manufacturers, test labs, etc. use to determine ink cartridge yield; the method for determination of declared yield values from the test results; and the appropriate method of describing the yield
22、 of cartridges in documentation supplied to the consumer by the manufacturer. The cartridge yield is determined by an end of life judgement, 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 functi
23、on. 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 are considered for CPP calculati
24、ons. 5DIN ISO/IEC 24711:2013-03 1 Scope The scope of this International Standard is limited to evaluation of ink cartridge page yield for ink-containing cartridges (i.e. integrated ink cartridges and ink cartridges without integrated print heads) for colour inkjet printers. This International Standa
25、rd can also be applied to the 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. This International Standa
26、rd is only intended for the measurement of ink cartridge page yield when printing on plain paper. No other claims can be made from this testing regarding quality, reliability, etc. This International Standard can be used to measure the yield of any cartridge that is used in a significant amount duri
27、ng the printing of the test suite defined in ISO/IEC 24712. This International Standard is not for use with printers whose minimum printable size is equal to or greater than A3 or for printers designed or configured to print photos (for example, maximum printable size less than A4 or a printer confi
28、guration intended for photo-only printing). In addition, it only applies to drop-on-demand printing systems. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references,

30、rinters and multi-function devices that contain printer components 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 fade phenomenon in which a significant reduction in uniformity occurs due to ink depletion NOTE 1 In this test, fade is defined
31、 by a significant increase in lightness, L*, or a decrease in density on the bands surrounding the edge of the last page in the test page suite (Diagnostic Page). This decrease in density does not have to occur completely across the page. This comparison is made using the second diagnostic test page
32、 generated during testing (the 10th page printed). For examples of fade, please consult Annex A. 6DIN ISO/IEC 24711:2013-03 NOTE 2 In some printer systems, fade can occur prematurely due to the way that ink is provided to the printing system. If a printer exhibits fade, a five minute pause is allowe
33、d to provide for recovery of the ink delivery system and printing can continue. If fade appears on the next suite, then the cartridge is judged at end of life and the additional diagnostic page printed is not counted in the yield calculation. If fade does not appear on the next diagnostic page, then
34、 printing can continue until the next fade or ink out is encountered and the additional diagnostic pages will be counted. 3.2 streaks very thin lines of colour, other than intended in the bands surrounding the edge of the last page in the test page suite (Diagnostic Page) NOTE Streaks differ from fa
35、de in the width and severity of increase in lightness, L*, or reduction in density. Streaks can appear for a number of reasons, thermal issues and clogged nozzles being two of the main causes. If these streaks occur in three consecutive diagnostic pages, then a streak removal operation is required.
36、Comparisons are made using the phenomena sample provided in Annex B. 3.3 streak removal operation procedure used to restore the print performance by removing streaks NOTE If streaks are observed on three consecutive diagnostic pages, first the printer can be left idle for five minutes. Then an addit
37、ional three test suites 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 rem
38、oval operation can be used on a given cartridge is prescribed in 5.2.1 2). All test page suites printed during this process will be included in the page count for determining the yield. 3.4 print head alignment operation function that aligns newly installed print heads NOTE If it is mandatory accord
39、ing to the latest printer 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 c
40、artridge change may be required soon NOTE It does not indicate that the system is out of ink. 3.6 ink out signal generated by the printing system when the useable ink in the system is depleted and the printer stops printing 3.7 end of life condition determined by one of two mechanisms: fade as defin
41、ed in 3.1, or ink out as defined in 3.6. NOTE For cartridges with more than one colour of ink in a single cartridge, end of life is defined when the first colour within the cartridge exhibits fade or ink out. In the event that the printer can continue printing after ink out is reported, the cartridg
42、e will still be considered at end of life. 7DIN ISO/IEC 24711:2013-03 3.8 test page suite series of five pages defined by ISO/IEC 24712 that are printed consecutively as a single job, ending with a diagnostic page 3.9 individual cartridge yield value determined by counting the number of diagnostic p
43、ages (last page of the ISO/IEC 24712 test page suite) printed between cartridge installation and end of life (as defined in 3.7) and multiplying by five NOTE 1 If the printer stops due to ink out in the middle of a test page suite, the number of the diagnostic pages printed is counted. Then, the fir
44、st diagnostic page of the remaining print job is included in the subsequent cartridge yield. NOTE 2 The number of test page suites counted may contain some pages that show visible fade. To simplify the testing, determination of end of life is only made on the diagnostic page (last page of the ISO/IE
45、C 24712 test page suite). 3.10 declared cartridge yield at or below the lower 90 % confidence bound of the mean as prescribed in 6.1 and 6.2 3.11 primary cartridge cartridge containing full density black, cyan, magenta or yellow ink or a combination of full density cyan, magenta and yellow NOTE Thes
46、e colours represent the primary inks used in a traditional four-colour printing process. 3.12 supplemental cartridge cartridge other than the full density cyan, magenta, yellow and black cartridges NOTE The determination of yield for a supplemental cartridge is made according to 6.2. 4 Test paramete
47、rs and conditions 4.1 Set-up Place the printer on a horizontal surface and set-up the printer according to the installation guide provided in the printer users manual. Use the most recent printer driver available from the manufacturers website or the supplied driver with the printer. The driver vers
48、ion will be specified on the test report. Cartridge installation shall be completed following the instructions in the cartridge installation guide. If there is a contradiction between the printer and cartridge manuals for the cartridge installation, the cartridge manual will take precedence except i
49、f changes are recommended for printer or driver settings. At the start of the test, all printers shall be set-up using a set of priming cartridges to insure that the ink used in testing is primarily for printing, not for initial priming/cleaning. After the printer is set-up according to the manufacturers instructions, the priming cartridges shall be used to print a minimum of 25 pages, 5 cycles of the standard test page suite. The priming cartridges shall be removed and repla
