These crops from the image show how it does a decent job with detail, although it is not perfect; look at how the white hairs around the muzzle are a little lost.

| Space Sample |
 |
This shot of Io above the clouds of Jupiter taken by the Galileo probe is another good test of a printer: it has a wide range of tones and also a lot of detail. The print is decent, But some of the fine details get a little lost again; the edge of Io is more of a blur than a sharp edge. Click on the image for the full scan at 300 dpi.

| Still life Sample |
 |
This still life is used to test cameras by our sister site digitalcamerainfo.com. This contains a number of elements that test a printer, such as the fine detail in the figurines and the colors in the chart. Here, you can see how the details in the spiral chart hold up well, and how the highlights of the beads in the cup are also well printed. The original photo was taken with a Nikon D3x at ISO 100 and can be downloaded here.

| Plain Paper Sample |
 |
Our final sample is a typical office document printed onto plain paper, printed using the Normal quality setting and scanned at 300dpi. As you can see from the enlargements below, there was some ink bleeding, and the flat colors are somewhat grainy.

However, this is no worse than other inkjet printers that we've seen.
