We live in the world of technology where success of a company is defined by innovation and product development. Innovation is a predominant factor especially in the Information Technology industry, and a prime example of such innovative products is graphics tablets. Starting with the brief description of the product, a graphic tablet which is more commonly referred to as graphic tablet or graphic pad, is a form of input device similar to a mouse or a trackball; a graphic tablet is basically one of the various forms of pointing device used for computers.
A typical graphics tablet consists of a flat surface and a pen or stylus; some even come with a wireless mouse which can be used on top of the surface. Now as you might have guessed, the data is inputted in the computer system through the pen or the stylus by writing or graphics on the flat screen surface. As the graphics tablet is much like writing or graphics on a paper with a pencil or a pen, most commonly this device is used by graphic designers, artists, and game developers who require an inputting device which provides them with facility to digitalize their art work without them having to put in extra hours working with a mouse. Despite the fact that these drawing tablets were initially developed to cater to the very need of graphic designers, the product has gained popularity over the years by IT fanatics. Therefore, less expensive and more user-friendly versions of these graphics tablets are now easily available like any other device such as a mouse or computer speakers.
The most popular manufacturer of drawing tablets is Wancom. They are well-known for developing such graphics tablets for Windows and Macintosh platforms. They have a wide variety of graphics tablet lines each of which are developed and intended for specific users. Their present line is 'Bamboo', which is a successor of their previous drawing tablet series 'Graphite'. The standard Bamboo drawing tablet is developed for both basic office and home use while their other graphics tablet Bamboo Fun, which is from the same series as Bamboo, is intended for more creative users such as graphic designers and digital photographers. Intuos is another series of drawing tablets which is specifically developed for professional use and has more integrated features as compared to Bamboo and Bamboo Fun. Probably the most attractive feature of these Wancom drawing tablets is the texture of the surface which is much like a paper and that of the stylus/pen which is made similar to the size of any ordinary pen or pencil.
There are various other alternative manufacturers of such drawing tablets UC-ogic/DigiPro, which is considered to be one of the leading competitors of Wancom, CalComp, Dynalink, KB Gear and Genius. Like any other device, it is a matter of preference of the consumer when it comes to the purchase of these graphics tablets, which is typically heavily dependent on the quality and price. To enhance the experience of users, usually drawing tablets come with bundled software which includes popular programs such as Adobe Photoshop Elements and Corel Painter Essentials. As learning how to use these drawing tablets is a matter of hours, there is little reluctance of consumers interested in innovative IT goods to add these novel drawing tablets to their collection.

My opinion yes you should, I'm gonna sell my 12 wx to buy an intuos 5.
ReplyDeleteBecause Intuos 5 doesn't have a adaptor which I hate with the 12 wx....
Just my opinion...
Should i get the Intuos5 or cintiq 12wx?
ReplyDeleteThinking of getting one of these tablets, or just sticking with paper and colored pencils.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think?
Me too to be very honest. I am really torn about this. :( I am kind of leaning toward this tablet though. The medium or large size. It is cheaper, and has wireless options.
ReplyDeleteSo, I was thinking about getting a cintiq 12wx, but then I come across this which seems to be a little bit better but without the actual screen. I am now severely torn about this. This is cheaper, but seems to be better. But, the Cintiq is actually amazing, and has its own screen. But, there seems to be an issue with the wires on the cintiq, and the Intuos5 has a wireless connector option. I have a cat that likes to chew. A lot. :|
ReplyDeleteI cannot decide.. blllaaahhhh!
Wacom has a product like that called the Wacom Cintiq, which is basically a highly pressure sensitive touch monitor, which combines the tablet and a screen. Downside, the cheapest model is $999, which means the Cintiq is very expensive, and is only aimed for the professional/business market.
ReplyDeletelook at the WACOM Cintiq, which allows you to draw direct onto the tablet without relaying to the screen :)
ReplyDeleteCan we draw with this tablet without lookin to the pc screen, and draw lookin to the tablet like we draw in paper lookin to the paper? is that confuses me draw and lookin to the pc screen while i'm drawing, i really want a wacom that i can draw like i draw in paper lookin to the paper (tablet) and not to the pc screen.
ReplyDeleteIt has a sensor on the tip which when hovered over the screen to a certain degree shows up on the screen just like a mouse would. When interacted with the screen it does what it would do naturally(like paper). Its smooth so there's no rough noises, It would feel weird at first but after a while you'll get used to it. And if you don't(get used to it) Wacom has other that do show on the tablet itself. Hope that helps.
ReplyDeleteIts only different when it comes to the point you want to draw something which is where the mouse become a bit inaccurate.
ReplyDeletehuh I suggest Photoshop, Illustudio, corel, and autodesk(ordered from best to good/most used by me ) Ms paint not a good program to start with but a professional or near-that would have no problem using it but I doubt they would.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I know right? It's so much easier except for when I try to type on it O.O'
ReplyDeleteWacom tablets work for both Windows and Mac OS
