HOW WE TEST PRINTERS

Our testing regime focuses on print quality, speed and ease of use

Before we begin testing, we install the latest versions of drivers for each printer, then run nozzle checks. We then carry out print head alignment procedures to ensure optimum accuracy. Each printer manufacturers’ genuine, own-brand inks and papers are used throughout the entire testing procedure. We create test prints including landscapes, portraits, and black-and-white images using standard colour modes. We also use our own specially created test chart (pictured right) to reveal each printer’s accuracy in terms of colour reproduction, tonal range, and the ability to deliver smooth graduations between subtle colour variations.
