YIELD RATE - NUMBER OF PRINTED PAGES

Toner Cartridge yield rate

This is to be determined according to the ISO/IEC 19752:2004 standard created for measuring the yield rate of Toner Cartridges and toner magazines without a photo drum intended for Monochromatic (Black-and-White) Printers.

This standard requires the use of three printers for testing, with three Toner Cartridges in each of them. A standard testing page is used for printing (5% of the paper covered with print). The manufacturer's default settings are set on printers that are positioned in a controlled environment.

These tests were performed so that the users of TONERROBOT Refill Kits could make a comparison with the original.

Tested cartridges: the best-selling type, HP Q2612A, 12A
Yield rate: in accordance with the standard ISO/IEC 19752:2004 – 2000 pages
Number of cartridges tested: 9.
Number of printers: 3 z toho HP LaserJet 1010- 1x, HP LaserJet 1012- 2x
Results:
First refilling – number of printed pages
Cartridge No.: 1(2004), 2(2018), 3(1986), 4(2013), 5(2028), 6(1967), 7( 2002), 8(1997), 9(2011)

The yield rate decreased by 16 pages on average in the case of the same cartridges refilled for the second time. The reason consisted of the wear of the photo-sensitive drum, doctor blades and other mechanical components.

Certain minimum changes in the yield rate can also result from the use of different paper.
