This document specifies test methods as well as test charts to measure the image quality attributes and those variations in colour prints typically used in office environment. Included are digital colour prints formed by using a multifunction or single function printer. Printers supporting a maximum paper size of A4 or larger are suitable for the measurements using the test charts defined in this document. The image quality attributes included are colour reproduction, line quality, graininess and mottle. The sources of variation considered are locations in a page (within-page variation), printed side in a sheet (side-to-side variation), printed order of the sheet (sheet-to-sheet variation) and colours printed on the back side of evaluated patch (show-through variation). A duplex print set, comprising several sheets which are printed by multifunction or single function printer with colour images on both surfaces of a substrate, is a main application of the test methods to measure image quality variations in the set. Variations, such as within-page variation and sheet-to-sheet variation, are also applicable for a simplex print set comprising several sheets which are printed colour images on one surface of a substrate and no image on the other surface. Both duplex and simplex printers are applicable to form a print set. When image qualities of duplex prints are measured, duplex printers which are capable to print images on both sides of substrate automatically are applicable to form duplex prints. However, simplex printers which require a manual arrangement of substrates between the front side and back side printing to form duplex prints are out of scope of this document.

The purpose of this document is to provide a method to determine the ink cartridge yield of ink-containing cartridges (i.e. integrated ink cartridges and ink cartridges without integrated print heads) for colour photo printing with colour inkjet printers and multifunction devices that contain inkjet printer components. In the case where a cartridge set can be used in multiple printer models, only one yield test is performed as long as the difference between printer models does not impact yield. NOTE A cartridge supplier can choose to use more than one market identifier for a single physical cartridge. In this case only one yield test is required as long as there are no differences in the cartridges other than market identifiers. This document prescribes the following: — the test method that manufacturers, test laboratories, etc. use to determine ink cartridge yield; — the method for determination of declared cartridge yield values for photo printing from the test results; and — the appropriate method of describing the cartridge yield for photo printing in documentation supplied to the consumer by the manufacturer. This document is only intended for the determination of ink cartridge yield. No other claims can be made from this testing regarding quality, reliability, etc. This document can be used to determine the yield of any cartridge that is used during the printing of the photo test file defined in ISO/IEC 29103. This document is not for use with printers whose minimum printable size is equal to or greater than A3. This document is not intended to measure the yield of photo printing on paper size larger than 4" × 6", L or A6. In addition, this document is not for use with industrial printers or point of sale printers. It only applies to desktop printing systems.

This document specifies requirements for multispectral imaging devices to measure and compare the decorative surfaces. Based on spatially resolved spectral measurement of reflecting surfaces, tristimulus images are computed. A metric is provided that reflects the visual closeness between a reference surface and a comparison surface using a single index called SIM_PDE. Recommendations are provided with regard to laboratory sample preparation. This document is not applicable to functional surfaces.
