This page is used to review any issues with formatting or to assess print quality. Numerous HP printers use a calibration page to ensure the print cartridge is properly aligned.

If you suspect ‘device drift’ is occurring between your printer and inks.If the printed images in areas with colour start or stop before they should.When lines start to appear slightly unclear and fuzzy in your printed artwork.There are a couple of tell-tale signs that indicate when your printer needs to be calibrated: If your printer isn’t calibrated properly, it can dramatically impact upon the quality of your print, which will drastically degrade if this is not looked after. In this case, we will be running through HP-specific printer calibration. Printer calibration also involves setting up your printer to conform to a specific manufacturing standard, industry standard or your own business specification. This can happen even when the same consumables, such as ink, are used with the printer consistently. This occurs when the printer itself and the ink, toner or paper falls ‘out of sync’ with one another. Successful printer calibration also avoids what is commonly known as ‘device drift’. This process ensures that colours stay rich, clear and the finished result is of the highest quality. Calibrating a printer ensures that the inkjet cartridge nozzles and printer paper are properly aligned to each other.
