Designers and manufacturers of printers need quick and easy methods of measuring the print quality capabilities of printers. This paper describes a class of print quality tests which systematically stress the writing system until print quality failure. The tests allow product designers to visually scan printed pages to determine what level of stress causes print quality failure. These tests help product designers quickly qualify new designs, or isolate the source of print quality problem during product developments.
