I agree with Nicholas. I usually keep my pre-cut test strips segregated according to which box of paper they were cut from, but when I use just any strip (all the same paper type, of course) it usually does not make much difference. Or, put another way, there are a number of minute things that can make the final print different from the test strip, and occasionally they will all add up in the same direction and you will get an unusually dark or light print.
