There is provided an essentially planar test substrate for non-contact printing. The substrate has a first layer having a first surface energy and having a planar measurement portion. A liquid containment pattern is over at least the measurement portion of the first layer. The liquid containment pattern has a second surface energy that is different from the first surface energy. The measurement portion of the first layer and the liquid containment pattern together are substantially planar.
