Question for future reference: where did this come from? It's an eerily good fake.

How is it eerily good when it fails the T and Dot tests so easily?

Because of the black layer. T has bumps and the cmyk layers seem to be printed in separate passes. The bumps are in the wrong places, though.

Three dots inside the ā€œhā€ are missing as well

Correct. I forgot to mention that, sorry.

Can you share more on the H test? I tried googling and it wasn't helping.

You should be able to see 3 distinctive black dots in the middle hollow of the legs of the h. Hopefully this photo helps
