Description

The default test page has a 112x93-pixel image of Tux and a printer, blown up to 3.5x3cm on A4 paper - in other words, about 80 dpi. Typical printers can do way better than that.

Similarly, the color wheel seems to be a bitmap with 8-bit colors.

It might be nice to at least improve those images - or perhaps come up with a nicer test page altogether?

Research direction

Locate the default test page and inspect the Tux-and-printer image and color wheel described in the issue. Decide whether to replace those assets or redesign the page; the work is done when the default page no longer uses the cited low-resolution and limited-color images.
