Original HP Inkjet Cartridges Prove More Reliable, Demonstrate Higher Yield in QualityLogic Comparison Testing
PALO
ALTO, CA — 06/2007 — HP today announced the results of a
comprehensive, third-party research study designed to test how Original
HP inkjet cartridges compared to 13 common brands of refilled inkjet
print cartridges when measured on reliability and yield.(1) In tests
conducted by QualityLogic, one of the largest and most respected
independent quality organizations in the world, HP cartridges
consistently outperformed refilled cartridges in all test
areas.QualityLogic concluded that Original HP inkjet cartridges printed
57.5 percent more pages, on average, than the refill brands tested. HP
cartridges were also found to be far more reliable. None of the
Original HP inkjet cartridges failed during the test, whereas an
average of one in five refilled brands was either dead-on-arrival or
failed prematurely.The refilled inkjet print cartridges tested in the
study were refilled cartridges carrying the store brand, refilled
cartridges sold under another third-party brand as well as empty
cartridges that were refilled at refill stations. All brands tested
were commonly available in North America.
