A test form for determining the state and the setting of the dampening unit system of an offset printing press and to a method for this setting using the test form. The test form makes it possible to derive an application amount of dampening solution and to represent precisely possible defects in the dampening unit system of the printing unit of an offset press. The test form is characterized by a printing plate having a mirror-symmetrical arrangement of two pattern profiles which have a large area and extend substantially transversely over the entire printing plate, wherein the mirror plane (line) extends transversely with respect to the printing direction, and the pattern profiles, in relation to the area coverage, decrease starting from one edge of the printing plate as far as the mirror plane (line) and increase again from the latter in the direction of the opposite edge.
