Wacom Intuos M Black

Wacom Intuos M Black - battery-free pen with 4,096 pressure levels

The Wacom Intuos M Black pairs a medium-size drawing tablet with a battery-free pen that recognises 4,096 pressure levels. That sensitivity gives artists a direct way to vary strokes while drawing, painting or retouching images. It’s a good fit for anyone who wants to work with a pen on a computer, from manga illustrators to people refining photographs. Connect the tablet to a Mac or PC using the supplied USB cable, then use it with creative software for tasks such as digital watercolour painting, manga drawing and photo retouching. Three creative apps are included to get started. The tablet’s 216 x 135 mm active area provides space for hand movements while keeping the overall unit at medium size. Its black finish keeps the look understated; the useful distinction here is the pen input, not a screen built into the tablet.

Why it is useful

• Battery-free EMR pen: Electromagnetic resonance technology powers the pen without a battery. It stays light in the hand, and its ergonomic shape is intended for comfortable drawing sessions.
• Fine position recognition: The tablet recognises pen position at 100 lines per millimetre. That detailed tracking gives you precise control over where a stroke begins and where it lands on the drawing surface.
• Shortcuts close at hand: Two buttons on the pen and four customisable ExpressKeys on the tablet provide quick access to shortcuts. Set the keys around the actions you use most, rather than reaching for every command in your software.
• Thin, portable form: At 8.8 mm thick and 410 g, the tablet has a slim profile and a relatively light build. It’s straightforward to carry alongside a computer when you work in different places.
• Room to draw: The active area measures 216 x 135 mm, with a stated 10-inch drawing surface. That gives your hand space to make controlled marks without taking up the footprint of a larger tablet.
