PN10 Graphics tablet review

I am a professional illustrator and I’ve used a number of graphics tablets in the past and the PN10 stands out as an excellent portable graphics tablet for use with art and design software. I have tried it with Photoshop and Sketchbook pro but it would equally work well with Corel painter and most other art applications. The surface of the tablet screen gives a good level of resistance to the pen tip as you might experience with a pencil on paper. The surfaces on some tablets can give too much slip resulting in an unnatural lack of friction between the tablet surface and pen tip. Out of the box the pen came properly calibrated to the screen but if the cursor is not quite aligned to the pen tip then there is calibration software supplied to correct this. The pen proved to be very sensitive to pressure and in sketchbook pro I was easily able to achieve fluid pen strokes that went from fine to thick lines and light to dark tones.

 It comes smartly packaged and the box contains a 10.1” tablet, a pressure sensitive pen, an HDMI lead, a USB lead, replacement nibs, a manual and the tablet drivers on a CD. The tablet is robust and well built. The six customisable buttons on the tablet feel satisfyingly solid. The pen has an easy to grip surface and two customisable buttons that respond to a light press.

To sum up, this tablet does everything that any professional artist would expect and it does it extremely well. It is solid and responsive but light and thin and so perfect for art on the go.
