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.
