The purpose is demonstrate pixe by pixel control of the printer by the production of a test pattern. The 1 pixel wide stripes may mush on some printers. However, as you go down the page, the stripes get wider. This would be considered normal, and can be used as a reference point for
comparing printers.

We've got a 2400 dpi color printer; no way am I going to do 1 pixel wide color stripes on it, as it'll just look like mush. Perhaps the task needs some rewording to take into account a greater diversity of hardware? –Donal Fellows 14:39, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
