Test Page

Considering how different shades of colors, grays, and stroke widths can look on different printers, you may want to create a printer test page that contains boxes filled with a variety of shades of gray, standard colors, paths with different stroke widths, and type in various small font sizes. Anytime you want to decide on the best color, shade, or stroke width to use, print your test page, and use that as your guide. (If your final output is always the same printer, create a test page that contains every swatch and gradient and use it to choose swatches based on the printed version rather than the screen.)
