What to look for in your cyan test
Solid block
The 100% cyan rectangle should be a rich, even tone with no white gaps, lines, or fade.
Density steps
Ten steps from 100% to 10% should each be distinct and evenly spaced in lightness.
Gradient ramp
The gradient should flow smoothly from pure white to full cyan with no visible banding.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I test my cyan ink cartridge?
Print this cyan test page. Look for an even, vivid cyan throughout the solid block and density steps. Streaks, missing lines, or pale output indicate clogged nozzles or low ink.
My cyan block has horizontal white streaks — what caused it?
Horizontal white streaks are almost always caused by clogged print-head nozzles. Run the nozzle check and head-cleaning cycle in your printer utility.
Can clogged cyan nozzles affect other colours?
Yes. On many inkjets, a severely clogged head can cause ink mixing issues that affect adjacent colours. Run a head clean to fix the cyan first.
