Standardized testing is a series of integrated tests that
provides a method of evaluation in an all-in-one format. The testing is
performed in a logical sequence where failure of any segment requires
termination of the testing to ensure integrity to all facets of the
qualification process. The testing includes:
- Package integrity per ISTA 1A.
Standard practice for determining toner usage for printer cartridges (ASTM F 1856).
- Density measurement, geometric conditions for reflection density (ANSI IT2.17).
- Standard test method for evaluation of larger area density and background on
electro-photographic printers (ASTM F 2036).
The I-ITC is a non-profit trade association that endeavors
to represent the interests of the world’s imaging supplies industry including
computer/office machine supply, retail, repair, networking, and
remanufacturing.

and thermal transfer ribbons. MSE’s manufacturing capacity exceeds 300,000
