The P7000HD and OpenPrint cartridge ribbon line-up provides customers choice and flexibility to manage
consumable costs. Customers can chose either Standard or Extended Life cartridges to match their print volume and
budget.
The P7000HD and OpenPrint Cartridge family offers all the standard features and reliability found in the P7000
series. Additional benefits of the High Definition family are that they support a virtually limitless array of font styles,
sizes and graphics. They provide all the necessary print resolution and system capabilities to easily drop into any
Windows based laser print environment without any application modifications or special accommodations.
 “Why did you choose a page rating?”
The page yield enables us to perform accurate comparisons across our products as well as any competitor products.
Our research shows that the most likely competition for our printer is a laser printer. By rating in pages, we make it
easier for users to compare and see our substantial cost advantage. Additionally, the page test protocol is a much
better indicator of real life consumable yields compared with older character based ratings. The difficulty with
character yield comparisons is that manufacturers use different tests, settings, applications and environments to
produce a character yield. There are no published comparisons of how one manufacturer derived a character yield
versus other manufacturers.
