A method of determining unidirectional print direction for optimal quality on an ink jet printer capable of bidirectional printing includes printing a first plurality of indicators on a recordable medium, wherein the first plurality of indicators are printed in a first direction; printing a second plurality of indicators on the recordable medium, wherein the second plurality of indicators are printed in a second direction opposite the first direction; and determining an optimum print direction from the printed indicators; and setting in the printer the optimum print direction for unidirectional printing.
