What is a nozzle check?
A nozzle check is a tool used to determine if all of the nozzles in the print head are allowing ink to be printed on the paper. Sometimes these tiny openings become clogged resulting in poor image quality. This is the first place to look if you are experiencing any quality problems such as faint output, streaking or issues with color. Most users print a nozzle check at the beginning and even several times throughout the day to verify there is not a problem that would interfere with production. Printing daily nozzle checks is also a recommended technique to keep the nozzles from clogging in the first place.
