What Does Your Printer Test Page Show?
Read your print before replacing cartridges. Here is what each symptom means.
Missing Color
An absent color points to an empty cartridge, clogged nozzle, or faulty printhead. Print that color alone to confirm.
Lines or Banding
Horizontal lines and gaps usually mean clogged nozzles or uneven ink delivery. Run a cleaning cycle, then reprint.
Wrong Colors
Off colors suggest wrong paper settings, color-management mismatch, or aging ink. Check the driver settings first.
Faded Colors
Faint output comes from low ink or toner, clogged nozzles, or economy settings. Switch to normal or best quality.
Blurry Text or Images
Soft text points to misalignment, the wrong paper type, or a printhead that needs attention.
Uneven Color Coverage
Light patches inside solid color mean ink is not reaching the paper evenly. Clean the printhead.
Misalignment
Shifted lines or fringed edges mean the printer needs an alignment from its maintenance menu.
CMYK vs RGB Printer Tests
CMYK
Your screen and printer speak different color languages. Pick the test matching your workflow.
CMYK means cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (black): the inks inside your printer. Use a CMYK test to inspect each ink channel and confirm every cartridge is firing.
RGB
RGB means red, green, and blue: the colors your screen uses. Use an RGB test to see how photos and designs translate from screen to paper.
Pro tip: let the printer manage colors, match the paper-type setting to your paper, and print at the highest quality.
