Ricoh Aficio SP C811DN-DL model.
The test methods and procedures employed by BLI in its lab testing include BLI's
proprietary procedures and industry-standard test procedures. In addition to a
number of proprietary test documents, BLI uses an industry standard Katun test
original for evaluating black image quality and test suites from Quality Logic to
evaluate applications compatibility. In addition to a visual observation, color print
quality is tested using the ANSI standard IT8 Color Test Target, which is read using
the Minolta CM503I Spectrophotometer, and samples are analyzed using the CIE XY
Chromaticity Diagram. In addition, density of black and color output is measured
using an X-Rite 428 Densitometer.
