South African creatives – and those who have always wanted to pursue their creativity to a greater extent – should pay attention to XPPen.
XPPen creates a range of professional graphics tools and like drawing tablets, stylus pens, artists gloves and more. While you may have seen similar products like this from other companies, you haven’t seen the way XPPen does things.
Let’s start with the stylus which sets itself apart immediately by forgoing batteries, cables and the need to charge. How does it do this? By using electromagnetic resonance (EMR) technology, the XPPen stylus allows for many hours of uninterrupted use. Between not wanting to break creative stride, or crunching to meet a deadline, we’re all working longer, so it’s good to know that our tools can do the same.
Also look forward to motion technology which allows for seamless brush settings to change on the fly with a simple tilt of the stylus. A big reason to finally make the upgrade to a drawing tablet and stylus over a mouse and keyboard is for closer interaction with your hardware and less dependence on keys, which the tilt function provides. Again on the theme of not stopping your work or breaking your concentration, this feature ensures easier transitions and faster changes.
For the ultimate paper feel (imperative for certain artists and old school designers), look forward to the fully-laminated and seamless glass screen which eliminates as much space between you, your stylus, and the cursor on the screen. This removes irritations many have had with other products where the tip of the stylus and the cursor are annoyingly disconnected, resulting in work that is imprecise.
XPPen products are also great for editing of every kind. Are you a video editor? You’ll be surprised just how quickly you can work through footage when scrubbing through timelines with a pen in hand, or using an XPPen tablet as a platform for macros.
Those who work in CAD programmes outside of artistic applications, such as mechanical design or engineering, will also be surprised just how much XPPen products let you interact with your work in a new dimension.
Even copy editors have a home here, adding quick, tactile options to their arsenal.
Like many tools, XPPen needs to be experienced to fully grasp, and only once you see what it has to offer, can you start streamlining and improving your work or hobby like never before.
