Better Test Pages for Color Printers?

AigariusDebian asks: "I bought a new color laser printer (Lexmark C510), but I am not sure if my driver configuration gets all the best images out of it. I would also like to have some way to brag about it to other laser printer wielding geeks. That means that I'd need to make some kind of repeatable and measurable testing of the printers quality. Are there any good Postscript test files that will allow a non-expert to do a full test of their color laser printer? I am thinking about both resolution, dithering and color matching testing."

PDF test pages

[srmalloy]

On this page are download links for four PDF files you can use as a printer test:

• People, Metals, Wood, Bright Materials and General Colors
• Jewels, Plants, Foods, and Brights
• Reds, Oranges, Yellows, Greeens, and Blues
• Violets, Pinks, Grays, Browns, and Default 8 Colors

You should be able to get a decent picture of how well your printer renders colors with those files.
