Solid, even blocks and a smooth gradient mean healthy ink flow. Fading, bands or lines point to low ink or clogged nozzles.

What this page tests

Each block shows one color working. Mixed colors reveal whether inks combine correctly, and the gradient shows banding.

How to read it

Solid, even blocks mean healthy ink flow. One block faded or missing means that cartridge is low or blocked. A wrong mixed color (green looks yellow) means the cyan channel is weak.

Before you print

Enable Background graphics, set scale to 100% and select the right paper type. Plain-paper settings on photo paper change colors.

Frequently asked questions

Why are some colors missing on my printout?

Turn on Background graphics in the print dialog. If one color is still missing, check that cartridge and run a head cleaning.

Can I use this to calibrate my printer?

It helps spot problems but it is not professional calibration, because browsers draw in RGB and your driver converts to ink.
