# 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: [XP-Pen X3 Elite pen notes](/drawtab/catalog/pens/xppen-pens/xppen-x3elitepen-notes.md)

## Pen tracking <a href="#center-versus-corner-accuracy" id="center-versus-corner-accuracy"></a>

* XP-pen lists accuracy as:
  * center ±0.5mm
  * corner ± 2mm
* I agree with XP-Pens accuracy numbers

## Pen pressure range <a href="#pressure-range" id="pressure-range"></a>

See: [XP-Pen X3 Elite pen notes](/drawtab/catalog/pens/xppen-pens/xppen-x3elitepen-notes.md)

## Pointer lag <a href="#pointer-lag" id="pointer-lag"></a>

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.
