Use this test file to help balance the colours in your prints.

First download the image, choose a location on your computer you wish the image to be saved, enter a memorable Filename and click Save.

Depending on your connection it may take 10 minutes to download the 3.2mb file.

How to use it

Once you’ve downloaded the image you can print it out on your chosen paper without adjusting any of the printer colour settings.
Leave the print for at least 24 hours to fully dry then check the colours in daylight. If you need to change the settings make small adjustments to the colour sliders in the Advanced options of the printer driver and produce another print.
Once you’re happy with the settings make a note of them and keep them with the paper. Remember, you’ll have to repeat this for all of the different types of paper you use, or if you change ink brands.
