Our USA Manufacturing Process

Core Inspection Department

Innovative IT's Manufacturing process is based on the utilization of Virgin Cores. Prior to arriving at the Set Up department, Core Specialists complete 100% inspection of each individual cartridge to insure that the Set up department is receiving a quality product that is free of broken or defective outer components.

Setup Department

Each setup follows a stringent procedure. The person or personnel responsible for the set up before being released to the Manufacturing/Production Department must complete a detailed Job Sheet/Routing Sheet listing manufacture of components (Drums, Pcrs, Magrollers, Wiper blades, Doctorblades, Chips etc) and lot Id numbers (For tractability) being used for that particular setup. All components percentages have been pre determined through stringent.

Research and Development procedures following the STMC and ASTM guidelines for testing all in one-laser cartridges to determine best combinations of new aftermarket and durable non-wearing oem components to achieve page yield print density and over all consistency equal or greater to the oem product.

Manufacturing

Innovative IT toner cartridges are manufactured in a single cell system. Technicians have no less than three years experience in cartridge manufacturing. Before any job is started, the technician must review the Job/Routing Sheet and do a physical inspection to verify that all correct components and toner match the routing sheet and sign off on the documentation. Technicians are responsible for the inspection of new aftermarket and durable non-wearing OEM components utilized. Once the cartridges are completed the technician places proper labeling and a bar code on each individual cartridge the bar code has various information that list the date of manufacturing ID number of the technician etc before inspection by Quality Assurance Department.

Quality Assurance Department

Quality Assurance personnel are responsible for the testing and visual inspection of all cartridges manufactured before being released to the packaging department. Quality Assurance personnel testing procedure includes the use of a Toner Head Print Test Messager (Approved testing equipment by the ITC Council). The Toner Head runs a series of a four-page configuration test pages. Blank Page (Identify any type of drum and pcr defects) Lombardi Page (Graphics and density readings) Gray Scale Page (Identify any type of contact or component defects) Black Page (Identifying all component defects). After a visual inspection of each test copy and no imperfections are detected the Quality Assurance personnel then places a color-coded label on the cartridge and a copy of the approved test print is placed with the toner cartridge. The packaging department will perform a final visual inspection.

NOTE*Quality Assurance Department also performs a random ten percent inspection of stock inventory to insure that all department procedures have been followed.
