One-click test page for any inkjet or laser printer. It checks colours, black, gradients, nozzles, fine lines and text on one sheet, and links to dedicated colour, black and white, alignment and barcode label tests.
In the print dialog choose Scale: 100% / Actual size, turn off Fit to page, pick the paper you loaded (), and use Normal quality (not Draft). Colour pages: make sure Colour (not Grayscale) is selected.
Measure the 100 mm bar at the bottom of your printout with a ruler and type the length. We tell you if the printer shrank or enlarged the page.
Preview of the exact sheet that prints. Only this sheet prints — the rest of the page is hidden.
A quick health check on one sheet: solid inks, gray steps, rainbow and black gradients, a colour wheel, CMYK tint ramps, skin tones, a nozzle-check staircase for each ink, fine lines, solid black and text from 4 to 16 pt — plus a 100 mm and 4 inch ruler to check scale.
| Problem | First thing to try |
|---|---|
| White lines or missing steps in the nozzle check | Run head cleaning from the printer's Maintenance menu, then reprint |
| A colour is missing | Check that cartridge; print its single-ink sheet |
| Doubled text or jagged lines | Run print head alignment; print the alignment page |
| Streaks down laser prints, ghost images | See the black and white page troubleshooting table |
| Page prints smaller than expected | Set Scale to 100% / Actual size; use the scale checker |
| Nothing prints / page is blank | Check the printer is online and set as default, cancel stuck jobs, and remove tape from new cartridges |
Every page here prints exactly one clean sheet, drawn as vector graphics in real millimetres, and works on Windows, Mac, ChromeOS, Android and iPhone. Nothing is uploaded.
Press Print test page above, pick your printer and print at 100% scale. You can also print the printer's own test page: on Windows open Settings › Bluetooth & devices › Printers & scanners › your printer › Print test page; on Mac open System Settings › Printers & Scanners and use the printer's utility or print this page.
Use this all-in-one page for a quick check. For a colour problem print the colour test page (or a single-ink sheet), for laser printers or black text the black and white page, for doubled lines or skewed prints the alignment page, and for label or receipt printers the barcode label test.
Choose the paper that is in your printer. A4 is used in India, the UK, Europe, Australia and most of the world; US Letter is used in the USA, Canada, Mexico and the Philippines.
The print dialog is set to "Fit to page" or a scale below 100%. Set Scale to 100% / Actual size. Measure the 100 mm bar and use the scale checker to confirm.
Yes. Open this page on Android or iPhone, tap Print test page and pick your printer (Mopria/AirPrint or the printer's app). Choose the right paper size in the dialog.
Yes: inkjet, laser, colour laser and multifunction printers from HP, Canon, Epson, Brother, Samsung, Xerox, Ricoh, Kyocera and others. Thermal label and receipt printers use the barcode label test instead.
