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.

About This Cyan Ink Test Page

This cyan printer test page is designed to help you quickly diagnose problems with your cyan ink cartridge or print-head nozzles. Cyan is one of the four CMYK process colours and is critical for reproducing blues, greens, and neutral shadow tones in colour prints and photographs.

The test page contains three key diagnostic elements: a solid 100% cyan block to reveal any nozzle blockages or ink starvation, ten density steps from 10% to 100% to expose uneven ink flow, and a smooth gradient ramp to detect banding. If any area looks streaky, pale, or has missing horizontal lines, your cyan nozzles are likely clogged.

How to Fix a Failing Cyan Cartridge

  1. Open your printer software and run a nozzle check.
  2. If nozzles are blocked, run a print-head cleaning cycle (1–3 times).
  3. Print this cyan test page again to confirm the clean worked.
  4. If the problem persists after 3 cleans, the cartridge may need replacing.
