Color Alignment Print Test

This part of the Print Quality Test is designed to check the color alignment. It produces twelve patterns each with two different primary colors. In each pattern you will see a cross surrounded by another color. If there is misalignment between the colors there will be inconsistent spacing between the cross and the other color.

There are two types of misalignment:

nHorizontal - when the misalignment is in the horizontal axis. Vertical - when the misalignment is in the vertical axis.
