Frequently Asked Questions

Why are there lines or streaks on my printer color test page?

Lines, gaps or streaks usually indicate clogged print nozzles, low ink or toner, a worn drum, or a printer head that needs cleaning. Run your printer’s built-in cleaning cycle, then print this test page again.

How do I know whether my printer colors are accurate?

Cyan, magenta, yellow, red, green and blue should appear solid and evenly filled. If a color is faded, missing, tinted or striped, inspect the related cartridge or run color calibration from your printer settings.

Should I print this page in portrait or landscape mode?

This printer test page is designed for A4 portrait mode. Letter-size paper also works well when printed at 100% scale.

Can I use this printer test page for inkjet and laser printers?

Yes. The CMYK, RGB, grayscale and alignment sections are useful for both inkjet and laser printers. The exact maintenance steps may differ by printer model.

Why should background graphics be enabled before printing?

Browsers may omit colored backgrounds by default. Enabling background graphics ensures the color bars, gradients and diagnostic patterns print exactly as intended.
