Evaluating the MFP 25
Graphics output quality
• Fine lines should be distinct, not blending into each other or dropping out.
• Gray shading should go from light to dark in many layers, giving detail and depth to the
image.
• Solid black areas should be consistent to the eye with no patches of lighter shades or lines.
• Solid black areas should not appear glossy. This reduces readability.
• There should be no bands across graphics.
Image output quality
• Images should be clear and sharp.
• There should be no bands across images.
• There should be no graininess or visibility of dots.
Evaluating document durability and usability
After you have finished evaluating the print quality of your samples, evaluate the documents’
durability and usability. Test the following:
• Can the printed output be fed through a copier without being damaged?
• Will the printed output smear with moisture?
• Can the printed output be easily scratched, melted, or otherwise damaged?
• Is the printed output durable? Can it be folded?
