What to look for in your magenta test

Solid block

The 100% magenta block should be vivid and even. Any white horizontal lines mean clogged nozzles.

Density steps

10 blocks from 100% to 10% — each lighter than the previous. Missing steps = nozzle blockage.

Gradient ramp

Smooth fade from white to full magenta with no visible jumps or bands confirms good ink flow.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I test my magenta ink cartridge?

Print this magenta test page. Look for vivid, even magenta throughout the solid block and density steps. Any streaks, fade, or missing rows indicate clogged nozzles or an empty cartridge.

Magenta not printing — is it the cartridge or the head?

First check your ink levels in the printer utility. If the cartridge shows ink remaining, run a print-head nozzle check. If nozzles are blocked, run a clean cycle.

Can I test magenta individually without wasting other inks?

Yes. This test page focuses only on magenta. Set your print dialog to colour mode; the page only contains magenta ink output.

About This Magenta Ink Test Page

This magenta printer test page lets you check your magenta ink cartridge or print-head nozzles in seconds. Magenta is one of the four essential CMYK inks — without it, reds, pinks, purples, and warm skin tones will all look wrong in your colour prints.

The test includes a solid 100% magenta block to reveal blockages, ten density steps from light to full saturation to expose uneven ink delivery, and a smooth gradient ramp to catch banding. Horizontal white streaks across any of these areas point to clogged nozzles on your magenta channel.

Fixing Magenta Print Problems

  1. Check ink levels — if magenta is low, replace the cartridge first.
  2. Run a nozzle check from your printer utility to isolate the problem.
  3. Run a print-head clean and re-test with this page.
  4. If colours still look pink-shifted or streaky, try a deep-clean cycle.
