XP-Pen Artist 12 Gen2 (CD120FH) notes

Summary

I have this tablet but haven't used it extensively. Overall seemed like a decent tablet.

• The X3 Elite pen it came with had a good physical pressure range.

• The display has low amounts of anti-glare sparkle.

• The tablet exhibited a little more diagonal wobble than I normally like but smoothing/stabilization should help. The Artist 13 GEN2 unit has less diagonal wobble.

Basics

• Model year: 2022

Pen

Comes with the XP-Pen X3 Elite pen - with an OK IAF and a GOOD pressure range. More here: My notes on the X3 elite pen

Pen tracking

• XP-pen lists accuracy as:

  • center ±0.5mm

  • corner ± 2mm

• I agree with XP-Pens accuracy numbers

Pointer lag

TYPICAL for a pen display - very slightly more than typical. But not by much.

Parallax

VERY GOOD. The tip of the pointer aligns very closely with the tip of the pen.
