The core of printing technology is in the cartridge itself. The majority of our
cartridges are single-element (integrated drum for laser cartridges or printhead
for inkjet cartridges) for ease of installation, avoiding the risk of deterioration of the
print head and therefore degradation of print quality during printer life. Replacing a
Lexmark cartridge is like getting a brand new printer!
Lexmark is constantly improving its toner formula for its laser cartridges to bring
the customer better colour consistency and accuracy, sharper images and better
colour transitions and skin tones.
Lexmark also recently developed new pigmented inkjet inks to provide the custo-
mer the highest quality standards for photos that last generations.

Quality and Excellence
CUSTOMER CHOICE
Lexmark has developed a full range of cartridges and media with its printers to fit
the many needs of its various end-users. Extra-high-yield, high-yield and standard
yield cartridges are designed to fit the exact needs of each individual customer’s
printing usage. Inkjet dual packs have been designed to avoid the risk of running
out of ink at work or at home. Lexmark also provides a full range of media from
banner paper to outdoor paper, from transparencies to inkjet photo paper. Lexmark
is dedicated to providing the best output quality to both efficient businesses and
demanding home users.
MEASURING YIELDS WITH ISO/IEC STANDARDS
The ISO standard more accurately represents the potential customer experience
by taking into account manufacturing variations in the performance of the
cartridges and the printers. Until now, printer manufacturers have used a variety
of methodologies to measure toner yield, making it challenging for customers to
compare yield measurements accurately from leading suppliers.
There are three ISO standards measuring cartridge yields: ISO/IEC 19752 for
mono laser cartridges, on monochrome printers ISO/IEC 19798 for colour and
mono laser cartridges on colour laser printers and ISO/IEC 24711 for inkjet
cartridges (with exception of photo cartridges). A requirement of the standards is
that all new products be tested and written reports be made available to customers
at their request.
When Lexmark supplies are used
together with Lexmark printers, it
delivers the highest performance
and quality.
