The print is divided into two parts, both of which test printhead performance. ● Part 1 (top) consists of rectangles of pure colors, one for each ink. This part represents the print quality that you will get from each color. ● Part 2 (bottom) consists of small dashes, one for each printhead nozzle. This part complements the first, and aims more specifically to detect how many faulty nozzles each printhead has. Please look carefully at the print. The names of the colors are shown above the rectangles and to the left of the patterns of dashes. 194 Chapter 21 Troubleshooting print-quality issues ENWW
