Why the Wacom Intuos CTL-4100WL drawing tablet?
The Intuos S (CTL-4100WL) is the latest drawing tablet in the Wacom family. The CTL-4100WL from Wacom replaces the smaller Intuos versions (art, comic, and photo). The drawing tablet features a new and sleeker design. Of course, it's not just the aesthetics that have changed.
With a drawing tablet like the Wacom Intuos, you control your computer's cursor with a movement of the pen. Besides allowing you to work much more precisely and perform drawing tasks more easily, it also offers benefits for your working posture.
What does a drawing tablet mean for your posture?
By controlling the cursor with a pen, you adopt a more responsible hand posture. The Intuos S Bluetooth drawing tablet can be operated with both your left and right hand. If you place it directly in front of your body, between shoulder width, the Intuos S drawing tablet can give the muscles in your wrist, arm, and shoulder more rest.
What's new?
The dimensions have changed little. The Wacom Intuos S has even become somewhat more compact at 200 x 160 x 8 mm. The main improvement lies in the placement of the buttons, as the active area has remained the same at 152 x 95 mm.
In terms of resolution, there is no change; 2540 LPI (lines per inch) ensures an accurate drawing surface. The pressure sensitivity has doubled to 4096 pressure levels for an even more realistic drawing experience.
This is due to the redesigned Wacom Pen 4K, which, of course, stands for pressure sensitivity. As you would expect from all Wacom products, this pen also works without batteries. The Wacom Intuos S comes with 3 extra standard nibs (pen tips). These are no longer located in the underside of the drawing tablet but in the pen itself, making them much easier to access. The end of the pen serves as a nib removal tool.
It is also no longer necessary to purchase a separate wireless kit. The Intuos CTL-4100WL comes standard with the ability to connect wirelessly via Bluetooth. With the integrated Li-ion battery, you can work for up to 15 hours without charging. Is it empty? Then it will be ready for another round after 3.5 hours on the charger!
Software package
The Intuos S Bluetooth drawing tablet from Wacom comes with useful software. You can choose which software is relevant to you. You may select 2 software packages from Corel® Painter® Essentials™ 6, Corel® Aftershot™ 3, and Clip Studio Paint Pro. You can obtain the software by creating an account with Wacom and registering your drawing tablet.
You shouldn't miss this
The Wacom Intuos S Bluetooth (CTL-4100WL) drawing tablet is equipped with 4 ExpressKeys™. You can programme these with Wacom's driver software. Frequently used functions, such as cut and paste, can now be easily performed with the press of a button. More complex functions can also be assigned to the extra buttons. The extra buttons also serve as a convenient pen tray.
Do you find 4 buttons a bit few? Then that's no problem at all. You can easily call up a Radial Menu where you can store many more functions and shortcuts. You can also customise this entirely to your liking using the driver.
The driver is not only for customising the extra buttons, by the way. You can also adjust the sensitivity, the tablet's aspect ratio relative to the screen, and the pressure sensitivity with it.
Travel Companion
The drawing tablet is particularly suitable for travelling between different workplaces. It weighs 230 grams and comes with a detachable 150 cm USB connection cable. The Wacom label at the top serves as a holder for your pen and ensures you don't lose the pen while travelling.
"Can I use the drawing tablet without a driver?"
On a Windows computer it is possible to get started without a driver. But then only the basic functions work, such as moving the cursor and the left and right mouse button. On Mac computers it is not possible to use the drawing tablet without a driver. If you want to make full use of all functionality, downloading the driver is essential.
"Can I also operate the Intuos with my finger?"
No, the Intuos does not support multitouch
"What's new?"
Besides the design, the Intuos (CTL-4100WL) also has improved pressure sensitivity and you can choose the free software yourself. On top of that you can use the drawing tablet both wired (via USB) and wirelessly (via Bluetooth).
"Can I assign a different function to the buttons?"
Wacom has created a very extensive driver for Intuos products. It lets you assign a different function to the buttons on the pen and the buttons on the drawing tablet. This can even be adjusted per programme.
"Can the Intuos (CTL-4100WL) also be used wirelessly?"
Yes, the drawing tablet has a built-in Bluetooth transmitter. That lets you connect it wirelessly to any computer that can handle Bluetooth signals.
"Does the pen run on batteries?"
No, the pen works without batteries, so you never have to charge it.
