This is the place to share anything you find useful or helpful for making 6x4 content :)

I've put together a little content pack of tone swatches and gradients, printed out from my Label Maker. This shows off the sorts of dot matrices it produces, and the variety of tones it produces where digitally a shade is flat.

This may just be my machine and configuration, but 0-60% opacity produces varying shades of dot matrix, 70% produces solid black with a wavy texture and 80-100% is all the same tone of solid black.

Get the tone swatch pack here:

This is one of the gradient scans! You can see all of the lovely crosses and squares the printer uses to simulate grey. It's really incredible!

If using the Procreate art app, it has a native 6x4” canvas size! Hugely helpful for this project :)

This sounds so cool! No idea what I can contribute, but will attempt. What format / resolution does your printer take?

Heya! It’s roughly 224DPI, and as the game jam says, 6 inched by 4 inches :P 

Any file works fine, but JPG is a good standard.
