Hi Yianni,

Last time I visited the Lexmark plant, in Mexico, they were testing the circuits on the filled cartridges. There were no visable markings on most of the contacts.
A plant in USA that filled new HP cartridges was print testing some of them before cleaning and taping. Some of the contacts had a very minor marking. This may not be happening in Portugal where mosy of the European cartridges used to be made.
