2. Is the ink washable? |
|
No. The CMYK module uses water-based ink. Printed colors may smudge or bleed when exposed to water, so we do not recommend washing printed items. |

3. Is it safe to use M2 ink for temporary tattoos? |
|
Yes. The ink used in the M2 CMYK module is designed to be safe for skin-contact applications. When used with temporary tattoo paper, the ink is printed onto the tattoo paper, while the tattoo film is the layer that contacts your skin.
xTool will also launch temporary tattoo paper with skin-contact safety certification on our official store. Stay tuned. |

6. Does the M2 require external air assist? |
|
No. The M2 features a built-in air pump. It delivers the exact same clean results as an external setup. Users can adjust the air pump's power output based on their specific engraving or cutting needs.
Note: The M2 does not have an external air port, so connecting a third-party air pump is not supported. |
