The black and white print test page will test the quality of your printer’s black ink
cartridge, while leaving the white area untouched. This specific test page will test
your printer’s ability to give precise and accurate impressions while maintaining
the color gradient, going from full black and then fading into gray, both linearly
and radially.
It will also highlight any imperfections in the printer’s head.

Black ink. Check if there are any lines/smears across the page, or whether the
print is blurry.
Connect your printer to any smart device, and then click on the button below to
print out a Black & White test page.
You can also download and print our downloadable PDF gray-scale printer test
page.
Click on the download button below to download the black and white printer test
page. This will help you test your printer offline.
About the test page:
The test page consists of four elements that help you identify the issues with the
printer.
1. Intensity graph: The first section contains grayscale blocks of different

intensities from 100% to 20%. More intense black means sharper prints, but
this consumes more ink. You can adjust the intensity in the printer settings.
This will control the amount of ink consumed in each print.
2. Linear gradients: The second section is a horizontal linear gradient, which
goes from 100% on the left to 0% to the right. This will help diagnose
inconsistent ink from the printhead.
3. Radial gradients: These help determine if the printer can print smooth
gradient effects. If the radial gradients appear grainy, this means there is
inconsistent ink flow from the printhead and it needs cleaning.
4. Text blocks: This section determines if the printer can print sharp text
blocks while maintaining the ink intensity. The sample text is of different
fonts to ensure the text is legible on different levels.

2. Radial gradients: These help determine if the printer can print smooth
gradient effects. The gradient on the test page is a sunburst of rainbow
colors with different intensities of red, blue and green. If the radial gradients
appear grainy, which means inconsistent ink flow from the printhead and
needs cleaning.
3. Texture block: This block can be used to evaluate the quality of a printed
image. It is used to check the sharpness and accuracy of the image. This can
also be used to test the type of paper suitable for printing a photograph.
4. Rainbow bars: Rainbow bars can be used to test print quality, number of
colors printed by the printer head, and identify print alignment issues.

The CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) test page consists of the 4 primary
colors used in modern colored printers, through which they can create various
other colors. This test page enables you to test these primary colors, as well as the
combination of colors they create together.
You can use the CMYK test page to identify any color printing issues and ensure
that the colors look exactly as expected. It is an excellent tool for troubleshooting
and ensuring colors are printed accurately.

If you are using a color printer, this is the recommended test page to begin your
troubleshooting, as it will immediately intimate if you are running low on any
specific colored ink, or if the printer head is having issues whilst printing a specific
color.
Print and inspect the page to check colors are accurate and vibrant. If the colors
are inaccurate, you may need to clean the printer head or replace the ink
cartridges. Additionally, you may need to adjust your printer settings to ensure
colors are printed accurately.
You can also determine if there are any leaks if you see a line or smudge near the
bottom bars on the CMYK test page.
Alternatively, you may want to download and print our PDF CMYK printer test
page.

How To Print A Test Page?

If you are facing issues with your printer, we recommend that you print out a test page that will
likely display issues with your printer. Once the issue is diagnosed using the test page, you can
continue to rectify it.
To obtain a printer test page, you must be connected to it, either through a wire or wireless. Once
connected, perform the steps to print out the test page according to your operating system. Click
on the respective link below to see how to print a test page:
Windows 11
Windows 10
Windows 7
MacOS
Android

If you are still unable to print the test page, you can still print the self-test page.
Printing a Self-Test Page

The self-test page is also a type of test page. Instead of sending a command from your device to
the printer to print a default page, the printer prints a pre-saved page by itself, without being
connected to any device(s) at all. This is also called a “manual” test.
Every manufacturer or printer model has its own way to print a self-test. However, every self-test
depicts the same information about your printer, which is its quality of printing.
To learn how to perform a self-test on your printer, we recommend that you refer to its user
manual or visit the manufacturer’s website for detailed instructions.
1. Generally, the default test print can be obtained from printer properties. Here are some
general guidelines:
2. Select your desired printer from Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners.
3. Click on Printer properties
4. Under the General tab, click on the “Print test page” button or press Alt + T keyboard
shortcut.

control panel, go to Run > control. Or go to Start Menu > Select Control Panel.
Printer Test Page Analysis

The test pages on Testprint.net are designed to give maximum feedback about the printer to the
end user. The list below highlights the different components of these test pages and their
functionalities:
Rainbow Bar: Helps the printhead align and confirms the printer is not leaking/bleeding
ink.
Radial Gradient: Determines if the printhead can sustain the printing of specific colors.
Weak radial gradients (sudden change in gradient) mean the ink in the cartridges is low.
Ascending Text Block Sizes: The different text sizes demonstrate the printer’s current
settings and scaling.
Percentage Blocks: This signifies the lightest and darkest possible color your ink can
produce. If 2 or more blocks are the same contrast, it is likely that there is low ink in the
cartridges.
CMYK Colors: The different colors created from the primary CMYK colors illustrate the
color accuracy of the printer. Any discoloration might signify the need for color
recalibration.
Using this analysis with our custom-designed print pages, you can quickly identify the issue with
your printer and then rectify them accordingly.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is test print?
A test print is a sample print that allows you to check your printer’s print quality. It can
confirm if there is any ink spills/ leaks, low ink inside the cartridges, alignment issues,
etc.
A test print typically contains information about the printer itself and its manufacturer.
Does my printer need to be connected to print a test page?
For a typical test page, you need to send a command from your PC to your printer, so
your printer needs to be connected. However, if there is a mechanical printer issue and
Skip to footer
main content
it can’t be connected to the network or computer, you can print a self-test page directly
from the printer, which does not require the printer to be connected to any device.
What is CMYK?
CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (where Key is Black). These are all the
primary colors typically used in the printing process. A normal inkjet printer usually has
these 4 colors in its cartridge, using which it can create a number of different colors by
combining the primary colors in different ratios.
What is the print test page used for?
Printing a test page is perhaps the most convenient method to troubleshoot your
printer. It usually has different sizes of text, images, and radial and linear color contrast
to help you calibrate the printer correctly. If there is an issue with the printer, it can also
be confirmed using the sample test page.
Printer testing can be done using the grayscale test page, color test page, or CMYK test
page. These pages have different significance. For example, grayscale test pages will
determine the quality of black ink cartridges. The print quality of the color pages will
determine the quality of all the ink cartridges.
Printing test pages are also useful for identifying problems with the printer, like clogged
printer heads or alignment issues. Some printers can automatically run printhead
cleaning cycles to troubleshoot issues related to blocked printheads.
Usually, modern printers also include the printhead cleaning command in the printer
display. This lets you remove any dry ink or problems with the ink cartridge and improve
print quality.
How to check the ink/ toner level in the printer?
Many of the well-known printer manufacturers have also published software tools that
can diagnose and monitor your printers, such as HP, Dell, Epson, etc. These tools have a
“Supply level” or “Ink level” monitor that performs a quick scan and tells you the
estimated amount of toner left in the printer.
Using this information, you can preemptively order supplies before they even run out.
