S 1714 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires printers to display average cost per 1,000 printed pages and ink cartridges to display yield.

New Jersey's S 1714 requires printer and ink cartridge sellers to clearly display two key pieces of information on product packaging or labels: (1) the average cost per 1,000 printed pages for black text (and color, if applicable), calculated using the printer's price divided by cartridge yield; and (2) the ink cartridge's printing yield, measured using standardized industry testing (ISO/IEC 24711 and 19752/24712). This directly affects manufacturers and retailers selling printers and ink cartridges in New Jersey. Violations could result in fines up to $20,000 per offense, enforced under the state's consumer fraud laws. The bill aims to provide consumers with transparent, standardized cost data to compare products.
