Title: Need good but affordable wacom pen.
Post by: Synthetique on Thu 31/07/2003 19:14:08
Any recommendations? Only requirement is that it has to be pressure sensitive. Please help me, as i am a complete fool at these things.

I d say go for size n not features if your budget is limited. The old Artpad series ought to be cheap by now n I d go for a larger version. Not as fancy as the other series but has all the neccessery functions.

Working with those micro tablets (A6-5) is really pesky in spite of all the features, so once again, buy the biggest one you can afford would be my recommendation.

Big as in size. A4 or A3 is prefferable. Don t know if wacom still sells the artpad series but you could probably find some on Ebay or whathaveyou. (the artpad series is like the newer intous serie, though much less fancy)

Good and affordable wacom - Graphire 2.  Expensive and better - Intuos 2 6x8. The still larger ones arent very useful IMO. There are cheaper and larger brands too, but they have batteries in the pen, wacom is the only one with batteryless pens. It also has more levels of sensitivity.
