Product Description

Product Description

With a new design and features inspired by members of the professional creative community, Intuos4 redefines the pen tablet experience. Featuring Wacom¿s new pen tip sensor technology and 2,048 levels of pen pressure sensitivity, the Intuos4 pen captures the most subtle nuances of pressure, allowing you to dynamically adjust exposure, brush size, opacity and more. User-defined ExpressKeys activate frequently used shortcuts and modifiers, while the accompanying, illuminated ExpressKey displays on the medium, large and extra large models, provide a constant reminder of each key¿s function. The finger-sensitive Touch Ring quickly controls up to 4 different functions such as canvas rotation, zoom, scroll, brush size and more

From the Manufacturer

The large Intuos4 tablet is perfect for creative professionals who work in large format or who are trained to work from the shoulder or elbow. With 102.5 square inches of working area, this tablet provides a generous workspace. The large has eight ExpressKeys with illuminated displays that provide easy reference for your assigned functions.

Like all Intuos4 tablets, the Intuos4 large features Wacom's new tip sensor technology to deliver an even finer level of control. You can initiate pen pressure control with only a single gram of pressure and a feather-light touch. With 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity and 60 degrees of tilt recognition, the Intuos4 pen simulates like never before the natural feel and accuracy of working with traditional brushes, pens, and markers.

Professional photographers, designers and artists agree: Intuos4 pen tablets speed production time for photo editing, design and art creation. When working with digital assets, there isn't a more natural tool than a pen for increased comfort and control.

Intuos4 redefines the Intuos pen tablet experience, thanks to a new design and new features inspired by members of our professional creative community.

What's New with Intuos4


Slightest Nuance
Featuring Wacom's new Tip Sensor, Intuos4 now captures the slightest nuance of pen pressure, starting with only a single gram of force.
Switches, Where You Want Them
User-defined switches are preset to "right-click" and "double-click" or can be set to your most commonly used functions.
Working Under Pressure
With 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity, Intuos4 gives you the creative power to dynamically adjust exposure, brush size, line weight, opacity, and more.
Ergonomic Ahhhs
Intuos4 is the most comfortable Intuos tablet yet. The slim-profiled tablet has gently sloping, easy glide palm rests that provide complete support for working on all areas of the tablet.
Natural Feel
The Intuos4 Grip Pen features a new contoured barrel designed to minimize grip effort, reduce stress to your hand and wrist, and otherwise emulate the feel of your favorite writing instrument.
Peek Inside
The new pen stand not only functions as a convenient pen holder, but also provides a handy twist-off storage compartment containing pen nibs and a pen nib removal tool.
Who Says You Can't Take Shortcuts
Set up your ExpressKeys to activate your own unique, time-saving shortcuts and modifiers in each of your applications. See your settings change in the illuminated display areas as you switch between applications.
Your Settings at a Glance
On Medium, Large and Extra Large tablets, illuminated displays provide a visual reference to each key's function. On the Small tablet, just press the default ExpressKey to display the settings on screen.
A Turn for the Better
The finger-sensitive Touch Ring provides intuitive control of scrolling, zooming, brush size, canvas rotation or layer selection. A central toggle button allows you to control up to four different functions in each application.
Software, No Less
Intuos4 owners are entitled to download their choice from a selection of titles by industry leaders such as Adobe®, Autodesk® and Corel®.
Reversible
The innovative, ambidextrous design of Intuos4 allows you to maximize the productivity of both your hands. Having the ExpressKeys and Touch Ring on the same side of the tablet ensures that they are perfectly positioned for use with the hand that is not holding the pen.
Many Accessories
To complement your Intuos4, choose from a variety of accessories including the Grip Pen, the Classic Pen, 6D Art Pen, Airbrush, Inking Pen, Pro Accessory Kit and more.

WACOM Intuos4 is GREAT!!!!!
5 Stars
WACOM Intuos4 is GREAT!!!!!
I have been a WACOM user for quite sometime... Recently WACOM announced the Intuos5, so I checked the Intuos4 and found a good price drop and I decided to order one..Other WACOM I have around the house includes a Intuos3 Large, Bamboo Pen+Touch 2nd Gen, Intuos2 Medium, and my Toshiba Portege M750 TabletPC.The first Intuos4 Large I received from Amazon is DOA... The Tablet was brand new all sealed, but probably due to ground shipping, the tablet did not lit up after plugging it into my computer.. Also the tablet plastic housing seems to be loose and would make cracking noise from just lightly resting my wrist on the tablet.. At first I thought the Intuos4 has cheap built quality when compared to my beast brick Intuos3The SECOND replacement Intuos4 Large came in last week, and plugging it in to my computer worked no problem. This replacement came via 1-day air UPS shipping rather than the defective ground shipping... (So maybe the ground shipping bump damaged the tablet?? I honestly do not know).. ALSO, the cracking and build quality issues were gone. The replacement tablet is solid, and no annoying creaking noises when resting my wrist on the tablet... (I feel the build is still not on-par with my Intuos3 though)First things first, I checked the serial number and realized that the Intuos4 Large I received was manufactured on October of 2011, so it is one of the last few batches before the new Intuos5 came out, and the Intuos4 as of now is discontinued and out of production.I unboxed the tablet, and the accessories.. First thing I liked was the pen holder being able to hold nibs, this is really nice as the pen holder now has dual functions rather than just holding your pen in two different positions. The included pen nibs are different types like the previous generation of the Intuos. It give the pen a different "feel" when drawing on the tablet. Some nibs give more rough, smooth, springy or rubbery feel. Just like the Bamboo, WACOM included the nib ejector tool in the box. I remember when I got my Intuos2 and Intuos3, you have to purchase the nib ejector tool separately in a accessory kit.Included in the box are also color coded pen identification rings. It is many for those who have multiple pens with different pen settings within the WACOM driver software.The other thing I noticed is that the pen of the Intuos4 is shorter than the rip pen from Intuos3. But also the Intuos4 pen is slightly fatter, and the ergonomics is just as good, if not better than the Intuos3 grip pen. Since I mentioned my tablet was manufactured in October of 2011, the surface sheet issue should be addressed.. I felt the surface sheet of the Intuos4, and it is slightly smoother than my Bamboo Pen+Touch 2nd Gen, but not nearly as smooth as my Intuos3. But the slight texture feels better when drawing compared to Intuos3.At this point, I was excited and wanted to plug it into the computer and try out my new tablet.I took out the mini-USB cable that came with the tablet and plugged it in. (NOTE: If you are going to use your own USB cable, make sure the mini USB end plastic part is smaller than the recessed port on the Intuos4. This is because the Intuos4's mini-USB ports are deeply recessed into the molded plastic housing. TAKE NOTE)Since I was using an Intuos3 on this computer before, there was no need to install the driver since the driver used here is the same.After plugging it in, the LED Express Keys labels lit up and the ring status LED lit up and the tablet was functioning.I really wished WACOM could update the driver software with an option to turn off these LED Express Key labels. When I work in the dark late at night, the LEDs sometimes disturbs me... During the daytime/lit room, it is no problem.I took the pen and start to use the tablet. I was firstly astonished by this pen of the Intuos4. That near 1g activation force is no joke, the pen register strokes even at EXTREMELY LIGHT pressures.... When compared to my Intuos3 (which took quite some force to activate the strokes, which makes lightly sketching almost impossible without change the brush size constantly), Intuos4's pen was amazing. Also the 2048 levels of pressure is bonus, but I think I am good with 1024 pressure levels. The drawback with the increase pressure levels for me at least is that since I have been so used to 1024 pressure levels, the extra sensitivity made me to change some of my program settings. In some cases, using the same forces from my hand with the pen, the pressure level of 80% on the Intuos3 will be only around 40-50% with the Intuos4. Which means some of the brush sizes I am so used to have to be adjusted..... These above factors goes the same with the eraser side of the pen on the Intuos4.Now with the mouse, it is a slight step backward. The sensor in the mouse is the same with the Intuos3 since mouse do not have pressure sensitivity. Both Intuos3 and Intuos4 mouse are 5080 lpi (Lines per Inch resolution)The main problem with mouse is the ergonomics. The size is more miniature when compared to the older model.Other than that, the mouse works great.. It is much more accurate than even a high dpi laser Gaming Mouse (I have G700)... The mouse works in mouse mode, rather than the pen's absolute mode (tablet surface corresponds with your screen edge to edge)... Gamers would probably not use this mouse since the only area it will be active is the tablet's active area. Some people might feel it is not portable, and some people might think the size of the track-able area is equal to the size of your tablet's active area...The bundled software is nothing to awe over. They are just a bunch of trials and lite version of popular software (Photoshop Elements, SketchBook Express etc.) Not to mention, it is a pain in the butt to register with WACOM to "Redeem" your FREE SOFTWARE BUNDLE... You have to get the product s/n of your tablet, AND you have to get your bundled software code which is on the CD sleeve of the in box outdated drivers disc...Overall, the positives outweighs the negatives.. The Intuos4 Large was a great purchase for me... Just the pen's 1g activation force (finally I can sketch lightly ^_^) was the main reason I upgraded from my Intuos3 Large.
