Anyone who regularly made drawings and illustrations on the computer or edited pictures will hardly be happy with a mouse in the long run. Instead, in this case you should deal with the possibilities of the available graphics trays .
Because such tablets are already standard under creative people. Therefore, in this article we would like to give you an overview of the available graphics trays and tell you what functions they have.
Different types of graphics tablets
There are now a number of different graphics trays that differ from each other in terms of both the functions and the operating concept.
While some of the available tablets are particularly suitable for beginners and are only equipped with the most necessary functions, others are aimed at professional users and convince with a whole series of additional functions.
Tablets for beginners
Most tablets for beginners are particularly suitable as an alternative to a computer mouse . With a pen, points on the screen can be controlled via the tablet, but entry -level models only have a limited range of functions.
Therefore, these are particularly suitable for creating simple sketches or for digital signatures . In other uses, users reach their limits extremely quickly due to the DIN A6 format. And the precision also leaves something to be desired when working with such models, which is too painful due to the low price.
Graphics tablets offer numerous advantages for digital artists
Graphics tablets for advanced users
In contrast to the models for beginners, the graphics tablets for advanced users with a size between DIN-A5 and DIN-A4 a significantly larger area. This benefits the user as well as the additional functions and the pressure -sensitive pen.
Tablets with a screen can be searched in vain in this category, but the recap on the graphic tray by ISKN enables writing and drawing on real paper, for which you can even use your own favorite pens. During drawing, the sketch created is transferred to a computer, a tablet or a smartphone in real time so that you can edit it in a graphics program.
Tablets with screen
Graphics tablets with a screen represent the top division of the graphics tablets and are only suitable for users who work professionally in the creative industry. Because as comfortable as the work on a tablet with a screen may be, these are difficult for most private users.
There are now also some providers who offer cheaper models, but these are only partially sufficient to a professional graphics tray with a screen.
The graphic tray pen
Even if the actual tablet is extremely important, the secret star is the pen used for most tablets. Because this ensures a realistic feeling when using a graphics tray. When buying a model with a pen, the following features should be taken into account.
Sensitivity to pressure
How precisely a pen reacts to movements is primarily influenced by the pressure sensitivity . If more pressure is exerted, a graphics tablet pen should draw a wider line than when you press down less. Some pens are also able to transmit the angle of inclination to a computer.
The pressure sensitivity is given by the manufacturers in pressure levels.
Function keys
Most graphics tablet pins have two buttons, which should be a replacement for the left and right mouse button. The occupancy of these keys can usually be individually adapted to your own preferences using software.
There is also a virtual eraser on the top of most pins, which can be used like a real eraser.
Interchangeable tips
Many graphics tablet pins enable the user to replace the tip. Because the tips made of plastic wear out over time and frequent use increases wear.
While some graphics tablets are included in some replacement peaks, they must be purchased from other manufacturers.
