Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee F05 on Business Imaging Products, this practice was withdrawn without replacement in August 2020 due to lack of activity and industry participation.
Значение и использование4.3 This practice is suitable to extrapolate ink yield (Ye) of each color at other percent coverages (Ce) from the calculated yield (Y) using the following formula (see Table 1):
Number of pages printed at varying percents of coverage | ||||
| ACTUAL | |||
| 5 % | 10 % | 25 % | 50 % |
Cyan | 1036.23 | 488.05 | 206.65 | 105.89 |
Magenta | 1000.00 | 527.88 | 223.62 | 110.04 |
Yellow | 1036.23 | 543.73 | 194.03 | 105.20 |
Black | 1048.15 | 518.32 | 214.39 | 107.81 |

Cyan | 1058.90 | 529.45 | 211.78 | 105.89 |
Magenta | 1100.40 | 550.20 | 220.08 | 110.04 |
Yellow | 1052.00 | 526.00 | 210.40 | 105.20 |

1.1 This practice covers a procedure to determine the yield in number of pages per solid ink stick used in a solid ink/phase change printer for printing an 8 by 10 in. image area on a letter size page at 50 ± 0.5 % fill of each individual color. This practice requires an accurate gram scale to weigh the solid ink sticks and the printed pages, a personal computer able to print a 50 ± 0.5 % fill of each color, as well as a test printer.
