DENSITY EVALUATION
The density evaluation was conducted in accordance with ASTM Designations F2036-00. The density
evaluation was performed starting at the first printed page produced and at an interval of 1000 pages. The
following density values were produced:

CONCLUSION:
The calculated page yield of the test cartridge exceeded the calculated page yield of the OEM cartridge by
4,305 pages. The average density of the output produced by the test cartridge (1.47) was higher than that of
the output produced by the OEM cartridge (1.43).
