Benefits of a design tablet

Design tablets and displays enable full digital workflow, from the first sketch to the final product. The interaction of the pen, multi-touch and the programmable ExpressKeys significantly accelerates the workflow and optimises productivity.

The drawing tools in many applications enable rough layouts and design drafts to be created and saved digitally.

The pen’s precision significantly eases the placement of text/picture/object elements, especially when working with several programmes on several monitors. Searching for the cursor is no longer necessary.

Designer pen tablets and displays are perfectly ergonomic, so users enjoy more relaxed working than with a conventional mouse or track pad, even when used for long periods.

Graphic design tablets are used to create sketches and drafts directly and quickly with no mess. This results in more precise modelling and more lifelike rendering afterwards.

By optimizing the workflow as well as creating room for more creativity, these solutions increase the efficiency of the entire design process.

Graphic design tablets completely replace paper in the design process.

Designers work on a design pad or a display in the same way that they are accustomed to when working with a pencil and paper. Moreover, the designer is already familiar with pressure-sensitive tools from working with felt tip pens and color pencils.

Graphic design displays also support the creativity of the designers by enabling the designer to draw directly on-screen with a pressure sensitive pen. The direct hand-eye coordination and precise positioning of the pen allow every designer to concentrate on what he is striving for – working on creative designs and putting ideas onto paper.

With the varied pressure levels, the designer can use the digital pen just like a normal pen to create the finest nuances in the strength of the lines. All in all, using a design tablet is like drawing with pen and paper.

But above all, designer tablets are fun to use!
