Z-Image Turbo 3070 Inpaint Start

Summary

Best current Z-Image edit starter for inpainting on tighter VRAM.

This master is a curated hold of the community inpainting workflow because it gives us a real edit path while still staying more plausible on a 3070 than heavier image stacks.

Why this is the current master

It is the strongest actual Z-Image Turbo edit workflow we have right now.
Editing matters more than toy text-to-image wins for practical day-to-day use.
The graph is specific enough to be useful without being a giant kitchen-sink workflow.

What I intentionally kept

inpainting-focused graph shape
existing ZImageFunControlnet route
community sampler path that is already wired for edit work

What I intentionally did not add yet

control-union extras from the separate community workflow
any manual sampler surgery before real testing
any claim that this is better than FLUX.2-klein for edits

Node-level graph changes: held the community inpainting graph shape with LanPaint_KSampler and ZImageFunControlnet; the live loader resolves to zImageTurbo_turbo.safetensors even though the embedded source metadata still labels the split-file z_image_turbo_bf16.safetensors
Why this change was made: keep a plausible real edit path on a 3070 without prematurely bloating the graph

Required models

models/text_encoders/qwen_3_4b.safetensors
models/diffusion_models/zImageTurbo_turbo.safetensors
models/vae/ae.safetensors

Required custom nodes

rgthree-comfy
the package that provides LanPaint_KSampler
the package that provides ZImageFunControlnet

Monday test checklist

Confirm missing custom nodes first.
Check whether masked edits are stable enough to keep.
Compare it directly against the flux2klein edit master on the same input.

Next optimization candidates

reduce custom-node dependency count if the graph is good but fragile
borrow only the useful control ideas from the community control-union workflow
