Ink and toner yield can vary with a number of factor, however the most influential is the document/graphic/photograph that is to be printed. Manufacturers have liased with the Internatial Organisation for Standardization (ISO) to produce a number of tests for inkjet and laser based printing. However these tests are a text/graphic mix on A4 size paper and no format has been completed for photgraph based printing. Therefore Rent IT have produced these yield tables as an indication and guide to ink usage with our rental printer models mostly based on ISO results and 5% pint coverage results. For photograph printing yield may well be reduced by a factor of up to 10 depending on type of graphic.
