Colorado Springs based inkjet technology solutions leader R-Jet Tek has introduced a software program designed to address the problems with print testing cartridges as a final quality control step,” according to Vic Johnson, R-Jet Tek Communications Director.
TestPrint Pro Software automates and simplifies the task of testing inkjet cartridges in their printers by printing a series of target files. These target files, composed of blocks of color, gradient black patterns, and perhaps part of a photo show if the cartridge is working correctly. Until the day when affordable cartridge testers are available for all of the popular cartridges, print testing will be an important function for any inkjet cartridge remanufacturer,” said Johnson.
Print testing these cartridges can be slow and time consuming when performed the way things are normally printed. Many times, when print jobs fail to print, the printer driver software is not able to remove the job from the print spooler. These jobs remain in the spooler and prevent other print jobs from completing. This usually requires a system reboot to clear the spooler. When this is combined with the many steps required to print, especially with multiple printers, the entire process can slow to a crawl.
TestPrint Pro solves these problems. It excels at printing to multiple printers with a single click, and removing jobs that fail to print quickly. TestPrint Pro uses “print files” to send to the printer. These print files (prn files) are created in advance and then loaded into the program. A prn file is created for each cartridge you are testing. These files are created simply by checking the “Print to File” checkbox in the printer properties dialog box.
A 21 day trial version of TestPrint Pro is available for download at company’s website at www.rjettek.com. Sample target files, instructions and more information about the software are also available there.
