About this deal

A new generation introduces a new chapter. The Artist Series Pen Display (2nd Gen) upholds our mission to support you to follow your dreams, be bold, and express your true self. As usual, all the main creative software apps will work with this like Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator (actually all the Adobe CC apps!), SAI, Corel, GIMP, Krita, Blender 3D, Clip Studio and MediBang etc.

The new Artist series brings an immense leap to the stylus drawing experience with the new X3 chip giving you the realistic feeling of traditional pen and paper. Explore a brand new CG world with the X3 chip technology. Windows 7 (or later), Mac OS X 10.10 (or later), Chrome OS 88 (or later), Android (USB3.1 DP1.2), Linux The driver software is nicely laid out and is easy to understand. It’s here you can change and/or edit things like pen pressure, change the display settings, re-map the shortcut keys etc. I tend to find most shortcut key commands on these devices already have the best/most used options already set, but it’s great you can amend if you so wish (I tend not to use them as I’m so used to using a keyboard!).You wouldn’t want a higher resolution than 1920 x 1080 on a tablet this size, as working in an app like Photoshop would make its many menus and tabs too small to work with – but here, it’s all good.

I didn’t experience any lagging, even when scribbling away quite fast. Drawing ever-so-sloooooooowly did produce a slight ‘wobble’ in straight lines, but to be fair, you’re going to get that on most tablets. The end of the lines also tapered very nicely. Under the Work area tab, you’ll adjust things like calibration, display area, primary monitor ,etc. You can also tweak brightness, contrast ,and color temperature here. Flip it over and on the reverse are the four rubber feet in each corner to keep it stable on your desk – note there is no stand supplied with this tablet (or pen holder for that matter!) 😊 The Artist 12 (2nd Gen) marks a big step for XP-Pen to catch up to what some of their competitors have been doing in the budget pen display market. Huion's KAMVAS line, for example, has had a couple of generations of pen displays featuring fully laminated screens, whereas XP-Pen has only just started to implement this feature properly among their Artist series pen displays. Yes, if on a tight budget, have limited desk space, or specifically want to pair with your Android phone.I ‘forced’ myself to try out the shortcut keys and I have to say they felt nice and responsive when pressed. The XP-PEN Artist 12 (2nd Gen) will run on Windows 7 (or later), Mac OS X 10.10 (or later), Android (USB3.1 DP1.2), Chrome OS 88 (or later)*, Linux. If multiple monitors are used in extend mode, go to the monitor tabs to select one of the monitors that the work area of the device will be mapped to. XPPen drawing display is selected by default. Drawing time! The pen is very, very light – probably the lightest I’ve used. It may be the most ‘up-to-date’ technology-wise pen from XP-PEN, but I have to say I actually prefer the look and feel (and design) of the pen that came with their Innovator 16 Pen Display. Although it works perfectly as you’d expect, it isn’t the ’sexiest’ of pens (if that’s even a ‘thing’ 😊). It does the job and that’s all you can ask for! The sensitivity of pressure can be adjusted by adjusting the Output and Pen Pressure curve or moving the slider on the progress bar.

Artist 12 (2nd Gen) digital display drawing tablet | XP-Pen

While I found the Artist 12 (2nd Gen) to be a fully functional tool for creating digital art, its limited workspace was difficult to adjust down to after having spent so much time with a much larger pen display. However, for a beginner artist or a hobbyist who is just looking to dabble with digital art, the XP-Pen Artist 12 could be a perfect addition to their workflow. The pen display excels at providing on-the-go creativity that can connect to a myriad of devices from laptops to tablets and cellphones, as well as working well with a variety of digital art apps. The stylus is noticeably more sensitive than that of the older Deco Pro we reviewedand much closer to the drawing experience of Wacom’s grip pen. The Artist Series Pen Display (2nd Gen) is compatible with Windows, Mac OS X, Chrome OS, Linux, and Android. Explore your creativity with the new Artist. One of the major marketing points for many of XPPen’s recent tablet releases is their X3 pen chip technology. There are some bold claims and fancy imagery to illustrate the improvements. One of those improvements is the amount force needed to register pressure (ie. initial activation force). Now ,as little as 3 grams of force is all that’s needed for your lines to appear.

The user interface of the PenTablet application has stepped up it’s fairly straightforward to navigate. It’s divided into three main sections: working area, pen settings, and shortcut keys. Work area
