Information

      How it works:
1. Print the test grid file directly onto your 3mm plywood or target wood material using your xTool Inkjet M2 module.
2. Open the included high-resolution reference JPG on your computer or tablet.
3. Compare the printed wood swatch with your screen, evaluate print detail/quality, and use the color picker tool in your design software for perfect results every time!

Stop guessing how your digital artwork will look on natural wood! 🎨✨
Printing on plywood or timber can completely alter your colors and fine details compared to what you see on a bright monitor. This Inkjet M2 Color & Quality Test File features a comprehensive skull swatch grid designed to help you dial in exact, predictable colors while effortlessly checking print sharpness and detail clarity.
The intricate shape of the skull (eye sockets, nose cavity, and teeth) makes it ideal for testing ink bleed, resolution, and edge crispness on different wood grains!
