Our Testing Reveals that HP Printer Inks Do Not ‘Dry Out’

CONDENSED TEST PROCEDURES

• Set-up the HP test printers with OEM ink and standardized media.
• Print, log, and file print samples.
• Power-off printers and store them with installed print media in a conditioned environment (conditioning period was from 3/27/2015 to 9/25/2015).
• After 90 and 180 days of non-use, power-on the appropriate group of printers in the conditioned environment and produce a second suite of test pages.
• Compare printed output to the out-of-box prints and note any print anomalies.
• If necessary, attempt to alleviate any print anomalies using recommended printer-cleaning and troubleshooting procedures.
• Results will be considered “Pass” if print quality is restored to out-of-box standards within three (3) cleaning cycles.
• Results will be considered “Fail” if print quality is not restored to out-of-box standards after three (3) cleaning cycles.
