Canon, Epson, Hewlett Packard and Lexmark have announced their support of the new International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard, ISO/IEC 19752, for monochrome toner cartridge yield in monochrome laser printers. The companies say they believe “a single, rigorous, worldwide ISO standard to measure monochrome toner cartridge yield will help customers more objectively and accurately evaluate printer and print cartridge yield.” The new ISO standard for monochrome toner cartridge yield defines the key attributes that affect yield and applies robust statistical analysis so all manufacturers can utilize the same methodology when measuring yield.
