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
