OEM Analysis
OEM toner properties are measured analytically using multiple instruments. Using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) technology, Raven Chemists can obtain a chemical fingerprint of the OEM toner.
A differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) is used to determine the melt point of the toner. Coulter counters are used to precisely measure the particle size of the toner. These and other 
instruments are used to assure the physical properties of Raven toner are matched to the OEM product.
Raw Material Vendor Relationships
Our relationships with our raw material vendors are just as important as those with our customers. Strong relationships with these vendors ensure quality raw materials on a consistent basis. Raven chemists work directly with vendors to develop advanced custom resin systems.

Machine Testing Laboratory
Toner formulations are developed in Raven’s lab. Raven‘s lab is equipped with over 150 machines which are dedicated to product development and quality assurance testing. The toner development process allows our team to learn valuable information about the machines’ toner systems. Toners are tested for the life of the machine components (ie. developer, starter and photoreceptor). OEM toner is benchmarked to evaluate its performance. Every lot of toner is tested before shipment. Formulations include critical components needed for optimal machine performance. Toner tests include: taber testing to check fusing properties, yield, background development, resolution, density, waste toner, compatibility with OEM and cartridge fit and function.

Quality Guaranteed
Raven toner is formulated to perform the same as the OEM toner. Raven toner will not impact the operation, reliability, performance or robustness of a properly maintained machine. Each lot of toner undergoes numerous quality tests during the manufacture of the product. Every lot of finished toner is machine tested to assure perfect performance.
Raven Industries’ toner products are designed and manufactured to give you the optimum output that your machine was originally designed to produce. Raven guarantees 100% forward and reverse compatibility with OEM toners. Raven warrants that its products will be free from manufacturing defects for a period of 12 months from the date of purchase.
