Printer Test Sheets
Is your image aligned from front to back? If the front and back are not aligned, how far off are they?
Here's a simple 2 page test sheet that will help you visibly see if your front and back images are aligned.
This file is an 11 x 17 test sheet.
Is your print quality not looking the greatest?
Are you experiencing that lack of fill in the solids? Maybe some mottling? EW!
How can you tell if it's the printer or the media stock? It could be the media stock?!?
Use this simple test sheet filled with 100% Cyan mixed with 100& Magenta to see if all of the toner is being pulled down or transferred to your media stock.
Are you wondering if your color printer is printing up to its tip top level? Is it producing all of the colors that it can? Here's a great test page that can show you if things are they way they should be. There isn't a chart to go along with this as it is a montage of images by artist Ciro Marchetti but you can tell things about your printer by simply printing this 11x17 image.
