It has always been difficult to compare printer cartridge suppliers. They all used different methods of testing their cartridges, and the specifications from one couldn't be compared with another.

In recent years this situation has changed. Requirements for tests of monochrome inkjet cartridges put in place by the International Standards Organization (ISO) were adopted by most of the companies that supply ink in the summer of 2004.

The ISO is recognized for developing standards for many different industries to offer a standardized, unbiased way of comparing or rating products.

Printer cartridge standards allow you to compare ink manufacturers' products. Since the same methods are used to ascertain the yield derived from cartridges, they are much easier to compare against each other.

The standardization by the ISO specified these points:

- Default settings must be used when printing test examples.

- The tests are performed under strict temperature controls

- An average consumer should be able to find any printer or cartridge being tested.

- In order to assure that tests are valid, nine cartridges of each type must be tested.

- Since a certain printer could unfairly affect test results, three cartridges have to be tested with three different printers.

When considering which ink supplier you want to offer your business to, think about reliability, overall quality, and delivery in addition to numbers produced by testing.

If you do a fair bit of printing, you can also keep your own notes about different suppliers to see which ones last the longest and are the most cost efficient.
