Use this tool to evaluate wide-format inkjet color behavior using a printed baseline control strip.
Baseline Color Control
Step 1: Download and Print the Baseline Strip
Print the baseline control strip at the start of a print session to establish a measurable color reference.
How to Use the Baseline Strip
1. Print the strip at 100% scale (disable “Fit to Page”)
2. Allow the print to dry or cure (10–20 minutes recommended)
3. Take phone photos under consistent lighting:
– Best: one photo per patch (phone placed over each pad)
– Or: one photo of the full strip
4. Save these photos as your baseline reference for that printer and media
