STMC stands for Standardized Test Methods Committee. This global committee was formed to find and promote standardized test methods for the printer cartridge industry. The test methods are used to evaluate printer toner cartridge performance. Standardized test methods make it possible to evaluate a cartridge anywhere and come up with the same test results no matter who tests it. Standardized tests do not specify how a cartridge must perform; they only measure it.

ASTM International (American Society for Testing and Materials), is an independent organization of volunteers that work under very strict rules that force objectivity to write test methods. The STMC has accepted several ASTM test methods as well as ISO, ISTA and ANSI test methods.

Why is it important?

A company that is STMC certified is one that has had their employees successfully trained by an authorized trainer in these test methods, attest to using these methods, and has purchased the correct test equipment. The Int'l ITC maintains a list of certified companies.

What does this mean?

A company that is STMC certified has proven to be highly dedicated to producing the absolute highest quality cartridges possible, often even surpassing the OEM. These companies dedicate a substantial amount of time, money and resources to the development and continuous testing of their cartridges to ensure the highest overall value to the consumer, and therefore, the lowest total cost. All with documented, quantifiable proof that most other companies simply can not provide.

BENDIX imaging, inc. is the ONLY company in South Dakoa that is STMC certified and that has dedicated themselves to this level - the highest quality standards and practices in the industry.
