Alignment Printer Test Page
Test your printer’s print head alignment and paper feed accuracy. This page uses precision grid lines, crosshair targets, and rulers to reveal any skew, misalignment, or spacing inconsistencies.
Alignment Printer Test Page
Precision Grid (20 x 20)
All grid lines should be perfectly straight with equal spacing. Diagonals should be smooth.
Crosshair Targets (Corners & Center)
Each crosshair should be perfectly centered within its concentric circles.
Horizontal Ruler (mm marks)
Numbers indicate centimeters. Minor ticks are millimeters.
Vertical Ruler (mm marks)
Skew Detection Lines
The horizontal line should be parallel to the page edge. Diagonals should be smooth and symmetric.
How to Use This Test Page
- Load plain white paper into your printer, ensuring it is seated squarely against the guides.
- Click the “Print This Page” button above.
- In the print dialog, set quality to “Best” or “High” for the most accurate results.
- Print the page and place it on a flat surface.
- Use a straight edge or ruler to verify that grid lines are straight and spacing is consistent.
What to Look For
- All grid lines should be perfectly straight with no waviness or deviation.
- Crosshair targets at each corner and center should appear precisely centered within their circles.
- There should be no skew — horizontal lines must be parallel to the paper edge and vertical lines perpendicular.
- Horizontal and vertical line spacing should be equal and consistent across the entire grid.
- Diagonal lines should be smooth and continuous with no stepping or jagged edges.
Troubleshooting Tips
- Grid lines appear wavy or uneven
- Run the printer’s print head alignment utility. On inkjet printers, this is usually found in the maintenance or tools menu.
- The entire page is printed at an angle (skewed)
- Check that the paper is loaded straight in the tray and that the paper guides are snug. Clean the feed rollers if the problem persists.
- Vertical and horizontal spacing is unequal
- Calibrate the printer’s paper feed settings. Some printers have a “paper feed adjustment” or “bi-directional alignment” option in their driver.
