| [title] Testing Photo Black ink nozzles | |
| - | [* black] First, get yourself a SD card |
| - | [* black] Next, convert the PDF file I provided into a .jpg file. Here's a good [http://pdf2jpg.net/|PDF converter] to use. |
| - | [* black] Then take this converted file, and put it on the SD card and then put it in the printer. Run this with the integrated printer photo printing mode, and use the default settings. This should test your Photo Black, should your printer have it. ***Not all printers use Photo Black. If yours does, it will be a 5 color CMYK K/PK model.*** |
| - | [* icon_reminder] If the printer in question has a USB port too, a flashdrive will work. Just be aware the Photosmart Premium printers after the C309g do not have this option. |
| + | [* icon_reminder] This only applies to 5 color models that deploy the PK Black. If yours is 4 color CMYK this doesn't apply. If you would rather convert the PDF NTSC color bars, use [http://pdf2jpg.net/|pdf2jpg] to convert the provided PDF. |
| + | [* black] Get a copy of the [https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/60/27/2b/60272b9f9c2fa95683c20fc94b0db679.jpg|NTSC color bars] to test all 5 nozzles of the printer. Put this file on a small SD card or USB flashdrive if the printer supports it. See how well the printer's PK Black performs. |
