We use the same paper and print settings for each printer we test to ensure that the results are always comparable.
If this isn't possible, we use AmazonBasics Multipurpose Copy Printer Paper at 92 GE brightness for portable printers, we use the dedicated paper type for the model. We print the color chart in PDF format, using Adobe Acrobat Reader, on a 4" x 6" sheet of glossy photo paper recommended by the printer manufacturer. We use the Macbeth ColorChecker Color Rendition Chart, which has 24 individual colors, to test how well a printer can reproduce various types of colors used in different print types. We use our color accuracy test to measure how accurately a reproduced color compares to the intended color. Some printers which previously scored very well may now score noticeably worse, and vice-versa. Note: With our test bench 1.0 update, we now score color accuracy very differently. That said, it is possible to get colors that look close enough to the original to look good. Blues are especially difficult to print accurately since none of the dye combinations in CMYK can reproduce the color the way it shows up on a monitor, which can be an issue when printing a really deep blue color for a logo, or a photo of the sky and ocean. In other words, printed colors can never be reproduced perfectly from a digital image. This is because displays use an RGB color space, which has a much wider range of colors than the CMYK color space printers use. One thing to note is that the printed image will never look identical to the image you see on your monitor or mobile device screen. While most people won’t notice slight color inaccuracies, it can be disappointing when you expect your printed photo to have the same vivid colors as the image you see on your monitor screen, but then discover that the printed colors have noticeably different tones. To achieve this, you have to make sure your printer can print well-detailed photos and properly handle color reproduction. When you’re printing casual photos at home for an art project, creative hobby, or photo wall, you want them to look good and the colors to look as accurate as possible.
