Project number: CEN CSH 99020 - Ink
Minimum requirements for remanufactured and compatible cartridges to safegard proper interaction with inkjet printers

Part 1: Ink cartridge
Project Leader: Joachim Kretschmer

At the Berlin meeting during June 21-22 in 2005, two test charts have been recommended for this proposed CEN-Standard.

The first test chart no. 1 is similar to the DIN-test chart no. 1 "Preparation of refilled inkjet print heads and inkjet tanks for inkjet printers" according to DIN 33871-1:2003-10. The test chart no. 1 is shown here for download in PDF format.

For other file formats (PS, TIF) of this CEN-test chart no. 1, see MG08 (in German) or ME08 ( in English)

For other file formats (PS, PDF, CDR) of the similar DIN-test chart , see 33871 (in German) or 33871E ( in English)

The second test chart no. 2 is new (Oct. 2005). The colours are given in the sRGB colour space.
The test chart no. 2 is for download in PDF format.

Action items evenness, background noise and fixing (from Barcelona Meeting, April 2005)

It was decided to measure at 15 points for evenness, 12 points for background noise and 5 points for fixing. All points are defined in one PDF file which produces three pages

Action item for x step and line screen recognition

Action item 17 of document N72 is to provide print samples with ME01 and ME00 for the next CEN meeting 05-04-15.
The minimum colour reproduction requirements may be decided additionally by the study of the following test charts of eight pages in the colours CMYNOLVA (A=CMY).

Basic reproduction properties of printers

Basic reproduction properties of 16 step grey output on colour printers for four different PS operators:
The achromatic output on colour printers may be very different for 16 step grey series. Depending on the four PS operators which are possible to define grey colours, the hard- and software of the workflow and the printer driver the following one page output may be equal or different for the four 16 step grey series.
