A review of the XPPen Artist Pro 16 drawing tablet by a professional photographer for photographers who need a precise editing tool.
There’s no denying that in the last few years, we’ve seen a veritable explosion of pen and display tablets from competing companies. At this stage in the competitive game, the hardest part for creatives has been figuring out what makes one tablet better or different than another at each budget level.
The tablet itself features a smooth metal back and the front has a rather large bezel but still offers a workable and fully laminated screen surface area of 13.57 inches x 8.48 inches . Near the bottom of the tablet users will find a small wrist-rest sloped area for a little additional comfort should you use the tablet on a custom stand or lying flat.
While the pen is comfortable and accurate, I have to say that this applies after you’ve run the calibration. And you should do this every time you connect and disconnect the device. I don’t know if it was just my M1 Mac acting up as I do aof product testing which can cause some driver headaches between fresh resets, but each time I’d reconnect the tablet after putting it away, the pen would often be a bit out of alignment with where my curse was on the screen.
The software allows for four “modes” per application should you choose to customize your most used applications and settings yourself, all of which are easily navigated using the Pen-Tablet application from XPPen. Initially, you’ll have to connect the shortcut keypad using a USB-C cable, but once this is done you should get upwards of 300 hours of life out of it between recharging.
While on the topic of the matte-finished screen, while the impact is next to nothing, it’s worth noting that there is a little bit of what I’d call a “film grain” effect on the resolution of your image. It’s not really noticeable when working up close, but if you’re sitting back from the screen and say, just using it as a second monitor for watching videos or web browsing, you’ll definitely notice the “graininess”.
