There are different industry standards for testing toner cartridges that provide varying perspectives on performance and page yield. The ASTM F1856-04(2009) standard involves disassembling cartridges before testing to directly weigh toner fill, but this does not reflect the actual lifespan. It also does not define the page coverage percentage in a standardized way. ISO/IEC 19752 and 19798 standards use a predetermined test page that can be used on any printer, and test cartridges for their full lifespan. The latest ISO/IEC 24712 standard provides a suite of color test patterns and sets strict guidelines to minimize variables and better evaluate cartridge performance.
