What to look for in your yellow test
Solid block
Should show a warm, even yellow. Look closely — yellow is subtle on white paper. Any gaps or streaks indicate nozzle blockage.
Density steps
10 steps from 100% to 10% should each be progressively lighter. The lighter steps are very faint — a blank step means low ink.
Gradient ramp
Should fade smoothly from white to full yellow. An abrupt or flat ramp confirms the nozzles are not producing consistent output.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I test my yellow ink cartridge?
Print this yellow test page. Yellow ink is very light on white paper — look for a warm, even tint on the solid block. Hold the page at an angle in good light to see faint yellow clearly.
Why is yellow so hard to see when testing?
Yellow is the lightest of the CMYK inks and has very low contrast against white paper. The gradient ramp on this test page makes it easier to spot missing or uneven yellow output.
My photos look greenish — could it be the yellow?
Yes. An empty or clogged yellow cartridge shifts colours toward green and blue in photos. Print this yellow test page to confirm whether yellow ink is flowing correctly.
