Sometimes people ask what the "5% coverage" looks like. The 5% coverage that is loved by OEM manufacturers when describing the technical specs of cartridges looks like this:

NV Print cartridges in air packs.
The Russian company NV Print changed the packaging of its cartridges. From August 2007 all the cartridges under the brand NV print are packed in air packs.
Cartridges packed in this way have special lables on the boxes. The said label is a real warranty the cartridge will never be damaged duruing transportation.

Why to use compatible cartridges...
Aside the advertising message, the video proves very clearly why it is better to use compatible cartridges.

Printer manufacturers reject health risk claim as stated by Australian scientists.
After the results of the Australian scientists' study were out, the OEM manufacturers were quick to respond.
HP rejected claims by Australian scientists that office laser printers emit ultra-fine particles, which can infiltrate the lungs and cause lasting health problems, including cancer. 12 HP printers were named in the list of the 13 highest emitters, but in a statement, HP said more testing in the area was needed.
"After a preliminary review of the Queensland University of Technology research on particle emission characteristics of office printers, HP does not agree with its conclusion or some of the bold claims the authors have made recently in press reports," HP said.
The university's report, led by Professor Lidia Morawska, concluded some printers released almost as many ultra-fine particles as a cigarette, and inhaling such particles could cause respiratory irritation, cardiovascular problems and even cancer.
HP said it stood by the safety of its products, that testing of ultra-fine particles was still "a very new scientific discipline" and that there were "no indications that ultra-fine particle emissions from laser printing systems are associated with special health risks".
Canon, whose products were also mentioned in the report, said it was reviewing its findings but said Canon printers had passed toxicity tests and posed no health risks to customers.
Epson printers were not covered by the research but a spokesman refused to comment, saying: "These claims have been around for years and years and people still buy laser printers."
HP also said "the nature and chemical composition of such particles - whether from a laser printer or from a toaster - cannot be accurately characterised by analytical technology", but Morawska said this was not true either.
Of the 62 printers tested in an office building and a particle-free chamber, 37 were found to be non-emitters, six were low, two were medium and 17 were high.

HP Resolves Ink Patent Infringement Suit Against Pelikan
On August 02, 2007, HP announced that Germany-based Pelikan Hardcopy Deutschland GmbH and the Swiss Pelikan Hardcopy (International) AG have admitted claims asserted by HP in an action for patent infringement filed with the Düsseldorf Regional Court in Germany.
Based on this admission, the court issued a judgment ordering Pelikan to stop importing and distributing the infringing cartridges and to pay damages to HP. Pelikan also was ordered to recall all infringing products that might still be in the distribution channel.
In May, HP alleged that Pelikan infringed multiple HP patents related to the print cartridges and the ink formulation found in Pelikan products. Pelikan has admitted HP’s claims regarding all patents.
The accused Pelikan products were new cartridges, as opposed to remanufactured, and had been sourced from a third party and imported into Germany. They were sold under the Pelikan brand and designated as H06 and H08 color cartridges.

Particle emissions from laser printers might pose health concern
According to www.vnunet.com, laser printers may cause health disorders...
In an article published on July 31, 2007, the authors point out the main dangers laser printers can bring.
Some laser printers release tiny particles of toner-like material into the air that people can inhale deep into their lungs where they may pose a health hazard, scientists have warned.
Australian specialists classified 17 out of 62 printers in a recent study as “high particle emitters” because they released relatively high quantities of particles, which the researchers believe to be toner.
Thirty-seven of the 62 printers, on the other hand, released no particles that diminished air quality. Six released only low levels, and two medium levels. All printers were monitored in an open office and the researchers recorded data on three laser printers in an experimental chamber. The study included popular models in the US and Australia sold internationally under the Canon, HP Color Laserjet, Ricoh and Toshiba brand names.
Most of the printer-generated particles detected were ultrafine and such contaminants are easily inhaled into the smallest passageways of the lungs where they could pose “a significant health threat”.
The study found that indoor particle levels in the office air increased fivefold during work hours due to printer use. Printers emitted more particles when operating with new toner cartridges and when printing graphics and images that require greater quantities of toner.
As a result of the study, the scientists are calling on government officials to consider regulating emission levels from laser printers. The research is scheduled for publication in the 1 August online issue of the American Chemical Society’s Environmental Science & Technology (ES&T).
