What to look for in your blue print test

Solid block

The 100% blue rectangle should be a rich, even tone with no white gaps, streaks, or fade in any direction.

Density steps

Ten steps from 100% down to 10% — each should be distinctly lighter than the one above. Missing steps indicate nozzle blockage.

Gradient ramp

A smooth fade from pure white to full blue with no visible banding confirms good ink flow and printhead health.

Common blue ink problems & fixes

❌ Blue prints as purple or violet

Cause: Cyan cartridge is low or empty — blue needs both cyan and magenta.

Fix: Check ink levels. Run this test alongside our Cyan Test Page to pinpoint the issue.

❌ Blue prints as teal or turquoise

Cause: Magenta cartridge is low — too much cyan relative to magenta.

Fix: Check your magenta level. Run our Magenta Test Page to confirm.

❌ Horizontal white streaks in blue blocks

Cause: One or more printhead nozzles are clogged.

Fix: Run a head-cleaning cycle from your printer utility and repeat the blue test.

❌ Blue band is too faint overall

Cause: Both cyan and magenta are running low.

Fix: Check ink levels and replace cartridges before your next print job.

Frequently asked questions

How do I do a blue colour print test?
Click the 'Print Test Page' button above to open your browser's print dialog, then select your printer and click Print. The blue colour print test will show solid blue blocks, density steps from 100% to 10%, and a smooth gradient ramp so you can check your blue ink at every level.
Why is my blue ink printing streaky or faded?
Streaky or faded blue output is almost always caused by clogged print-head nozzles or low ink. Run the nozzle check and head-cleaning cycle in your printer's maintenance utility, then print this blue test page again to see if the issue is resolved.
Does blue ink come as a separate cartridge?
On most consumer inkjet printers, there is no dedicated blue cartridge. Blue is created by combining Cyan and Magenta inks. If your blue looks green or purple, test your cyan and magenta cartridges separately using our Cyan Test Page and Magenta Test Page.
Can I test blue colour on a laser printer?
Yes. Colour laser printers produce blue by combining cyan and magenta toner. This blue test page works on both inkjet and colour laser printers. For mono-laser printers the page will print in grayscale.
What should the blue test blocks look like when printed correctly?
The solid block should be a rich, even blue with no white gaps or streaks. The 10 density steps should each be clearly lighter than the previous. The gradient should flow smoothly from white to full blue with no visible banding.
