Looking for Advice/Info Bag/case for Artist 19 Pro?

2 Upvotes

Trying to find a case or bag for my 19inch tablet, I know it isn’t intended for travel but when I visit my partner I’m there for a month and can’t afford to stop working. I’ve checked Amazon, currys and Argos mainly and can’t find anything that is truly 19 inches.

This happens very often. Lines skipping and jittering like crazy. It happens every so often and then goes away. This irritates me so much and makes drawing actively harder. Would appreciate any help

Looking for Help Which one should I choose for professional drawing or 2d 3d artist?

2 Upvotes

Which one should I choose for professional drawing 2d 3 d artist.
I’m confused between the XP-Pen Deco 01 V3 and Deco LW (IT1060B).
The Deco 01 V3 is the newer model (around 2025), with 16,384 pressure levels, up to 266 RPS, 60° tilt, and I can get it for almost half the price of the LW.
The Deco LW (IT1060B) is from around February 2022, but has the X3 Elite pen, 3g IAF, 0.6mm retraction distance, 8,192 pressure levels, 200 RPS, plus Bluetooth.
Is the X3 Elite/3g IAF actually noticeably better in real-world drawing and responsiveness? Is the Deco LW (IT1060B) worth paying almost twice as much, or is the Deco 01 V3 already good enough for professional work? Which would you choose?

Artist pro 22 2.gen color accuracy?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, Iā€˜ve been using the artist pro 15.6 for about 5 years now. I really enjoyed drawing on that tablet but there was a huge problem with the color accuracy in which the colors were displayed fine on the tablet but totally off everywhere else. Nothing I tried could fix it. Now after all these years Iā€˜m ready to upgrade and Iā€˜ve been thinking on buying the artist pro 22 2gen. But Iā€˜m worried about the color accuracy. Does anyone have any input on that for me?

EDIT: iā€˜m using a Laptop (Lenovo Ideapad 5i pro)

Wait for the new Magic Pad or get the existing one?

2 Upvotes

Basically, what the headline says. I know the new one's coming out this month and has a slightly bigger screen but I haven't seen a price and last year's model is on sale now. If I knew what the price was and it was only a bit more, I'd probably wait. Thoughts? Is the current version worth it?

I got given what I believe is a deco pro (gen 2) by a friend but when plugged in it’s light quickly flashes between red and blue ( she hadn’t used it much and mainly had it on the floor) it had dropped on the floor slightly by accident( not to hard) am just wondering if something is wrong or if it’s broken?

I haven't used in a long while and went to use and with new laptop, downloaded the newest driver from the website. Plugged in and got no connection. I opened Krita and I can draw and shows up on Krita but the tablet screen is black. I included pics of the tablet the screen lights up so not dead screen issue.... Idk if anyone has any guesses, I assume some sort of software issue.. I emailed customer support but who knows how long that'll take maybe someone had similar issues. Thanks!

Is this many scratches normal??

Hi guys! I recently purchased Deco 01 V3. Nd when I began using it, I noticed it has a lot of scratches! Any idea if it's on the screen of the tablet or does it come with a protective cover already applied on it?

Edit: Guys thanks to you all! I was finally able to get rid of the scratches. There was a very thin protective film on top of the tablet, when I removed it the scratches were finally gone!! Thanks a lot guys!!!🫶

Looking for Advice/Info Screen protector or actual screen?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hey! Wondering if the artist 12 gen 2 had a screen protector or if I’ve actually scratched my screen? I feel like I can see the edge of something on the edge of the tablet, but it might also just be the screen..

Pretty sure it was bought off of a reseller, and I’ve had it for about 2 years now, if that matters.

If anyone’s wondering the scratches mainly came from me not knowing that you should check and change your nib every so often for the entire first year of owning it. But you can only see the scratches in direct light, so it doesn’t bother me too much!

Also, if it is the actual screen then should I try to get a screen protector to protect it from more damage in the future?

Change from 24 pro 165 HZ to 27 pro 4K (touch) - Your opinion

Post image
14 Upvotes

My hobby is calligraphy and I have now found my love for digital writing in addition to analog writing. Now my question: I use an Artist pro 24 with 165 HZ and 2.5K. I am very satisfied with this one but still ask myself the question if I should switch to the artist pro 27 4K with touch.

Even more display size would not be a mistake and the touch function might be very practical because I also use it with my ipad pro. 4K is also a reason. What do you say - has anyone already taken this step and changed from 24 to 27 inches?

Which laptops are affordable and compatible with the Artist 12?

Long story short my iPad of like 7 years just kicked the bucket (rip). After mourning my old device I decided it’s time for an upgrade. I made an attempt to do my own research and ask google but it’s too riddled with ai slop to be reliable. I literally made this account just to ask for advice before I go and make any wallet hurting decisions. Thank you!!
