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 printhead. This part represents the print quality that you will get from each color. ● Part 2 (bottom) consists of small dashes, one for each nozzle on each printhead. 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 in the center of the patterns of dashes.
