    SpencerLab offers Testing of Ink and Color Toner Cartridge Yield
    New ISO Standards: SpencerLab Executives Instrumental in Standards Development
    The
    SpencerLab Digital Color Laboratory  is pleased to announce its support
    of the new international standards for measuring both ink and toner
    color print cartridge yields. As the leading independent test
    laboratory in cartridge yield measurement, SpencerLab now offers test
    services fully compliant with these new ISO/IEC standards.Published
    jointly by ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and
    IEC (the Inter-national Electrotechnical Commission), the three
    interrelated standards are: ISO/IEC 24711 for ink, ISO/IEC 19798 for
    color toner, and ISO/IEC 24712 for the shared color test page suite.
    SpencerLab now certifies testing compliance with these standards, as
    well as with the monochrome toner cartridge yield standard, ISO/IEC
    19752.Together, these international standards offer a technically
    robust, consensus-driven, measurement methodology for color as well as
    black print cartridge yields. We believe rigorous, worldwide standards
    to measure ink and toner cartridge yields will help customers make more
    informed purchase decisions by allowing objective and accurate
    evaluation of print cartridge yields.David R. Spencer, president of
    Spencer & Associates Publishing, Ltd. (the parent company of
    SpencerLab), was a founding co-editor of all three interrelated
    standards. Catherine Fiasconaro, director of SpencerLab, was also a
    member of all three standards development teams. Mr. Spencer and Ms.
    Fiasconaro both participated in the earlier development of the
    monochrome toner cartridge yield standard, ISO/IEC 19752.SpencerLab’s
    new testing services for ISO/IEC-standard color ink and toner yield
    augment its premier range of proprietary yield testing methodologies as
    well as its ISO/IEC-standard monochrome toner yield testing
    services.For over a decade leading vendors have relied on SpencerLab to
    provide certified yield testing and associated Cost-per-Print analyses.
    Recognizing the importance of a standardized yield test page, in 1991
    SpencerLab developed perhaps the first true 5% digital coverage
    monochrome test file. This was followed by the development of standard
    color test pages, incorporating the graphics and coverage
    representative of real user printing. As the SpencerLab Printer Test
    Suite grew, a photographic suite was developed incorporating the basic
    range of consumer photos while representing typical user coverage and
    color range.SpencerLab offers specialized programs that compare
    consumable yield and associated Cost-per-Print among a variety of
    printing devices of varying technologies, including ink jet, solid ink
    jet, laser, LED, dye sublimation, etc. For more information please
