Print settings

Open a test, then choose its print button or download its A4 PDF. Use A4 portrait, Actual size / 100%, and turn print headers and footers off. Check the preview before printing. If the browser clips the pattern, try the PDF and check the printer paper settings.

Our layouts are nominally A4. US Letter paper needs a paper-size change or scaling, which changes the layout measurements. Record the paper and driver settings when comparing two prints.

Understand your result

Compare the same pattern before and after one change. An unexpected result is a reason for further checks; it does not identify a failed part. Compare it with the printer's own built-in test before choosing maintenance.

For an absent or weak colour, use the missing-colours checks.
For light output, start with the faded-print guide.
For clipped edges or uneven margins, check paper size, scaling and margins.
If nothing prints, use the free troubleshooting walkthrough.

How these pages work

These free vector patterns help you compare visible output. Browser and driver processing, paper and printer settings affect the result. A test page cannot calibrate your printer, certify accuracy or prove a hardware fault.
