Printer Nozzle Check Pattern

This page will automatically open your print dialog. The nozzle check pattern helps identify clogged or misfiring print head nozzles by printing precise line patterns for each color.

How to read the results:

  • Good: All lines are solid and continuous
  • Clogged: Lines have gaps or are missing entirely
  • Partial clog: Lines appear faint or broken
  • If you see gaps, run your printer's cleaning cycle
  • Test each color separately to identify problem nozzles

Cleaning Tips:

If nozzles are clogged, use your printer's built-in cleaning function. For persistent clogs, try 2-3 cleaning cycles with a 10-minute wait between each.
