I believe they basis that on 5% total coverage the following is reprinted from a web page The ISO (the International Organisation for Standardisation) set this 5% measurement to help manufacturers state how many pages their cartridges could print. They created a standard document to measure print yields across various printers, so any new cartridge is run through a printer in specific printing conditions and will print until it is empty. This total number of pages is the number you see on our website for yields. This document is the ISO/IEC 24712:2006 (now revised as the ISO/IEC 24712:2007). This 5-page document consists of different designs of common printed pages, such as a letter, a presentational document etc. Using this document set, further standards were created for manufacturers to use to report their page yields, and is obviously dependent on the style and make of your printer: Mono + Colour Inkjet printing – ISO/IEC 24711:2006 Mono Laser Printing – ISO/IEC 19752:2004 Colour Laser Printing – ISO/IEC 19798:2007 Interesting fact: There's no standard for photo printing, and the documents they print includes no photo. This is why you'll never find a photo cartridge with a yield, as their life depends entirely on what your photo is made of.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It generally refers to typical text pages either single or double spaced depending on the rating method. Graphics can use much more toner/ink than this if you print a lot of graphics or dark backgrounds. On the plus side, all of the cartridges I have used have always been printing fine when the printer decides they are exhausted. There are tricks to override this and reset the printer counter to let the cartridge print until it is really empty but it takes a little work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Manufacturer's estimate page count is based on 5% coverage of the page. Depending on the font you use, or if you print a lot of graphic's (heavier page coverage) this will reduce the number of pages you get from an individual cartridge.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The print is full pages, legal documents of 8 x 11 on average.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It is 2600 pages per cartridge.
