STMC stands for the Standardized Test Methods Committee. This global committee formed
to find and promote standardized test methods for the OEM-compatible and the remanufactured
printer toner and ink cartridge industry. Standardized test methods are defined from ISO, ISTA,
and ANSI standards.
A company that is STMC certified is one that has had their employees successfully
trained by an authorized trainer in these test methods, attests to using these test
methods, and has purchased the correct test equipment. By being STMC certified you
can be assured that you will receive the highest levels of performance, reliability,
and quality with each cartridge.
