FAQ

What should I look for?

Clean separation between black and white with sharp borders. Greyish blacks indicate low contrast; fuzzy edges can indicate poor sharpness or scaling.

Tips

  • Black squares should stay inky black; a grey wash means low contrast or raised black level.
  • Fuzzy edges between squares point to scaling or sharpness issues, not contrast.
