Intuos4 Surface Sheet: Standard vs Clear Anyone know what the difference is between the standard and clear Surface Sheet for the Wacom Intuos4? Besides the color obviously. It can be found here:http://www.wacom.com/intuos/intuos-accessories.phpThe site doesn't give much info. I would love to get one if the texture is smoother, similar to the Intuos2 or Intuos3.

Thank you so much for letting us know! And sorry to hear about the disappointment... seems so silly of Wacom to do this to us. If there is no texture difference what is the point of having a standard and clear version? The tablet is black anyway. ^^;

I just got it in the mail today.but sadly the clear seems to be the same finish as the standard :|bummer I had to break the packaging seal to check, now it's probably not returnable. oh well...now I have a replacement at least :)

hi -Ive been looking online as well. I found a thread on conceptart.org and it looks like the clear replacement IS a smooth one. I'm actually about to order one, if you want to wait a week or so, ill report back to confirm if this is true ;pit's a lead at least, so im gonna see if it's true or not

Intuos has more pressure levels (1024 vs 512) and probably a higher resolution (not positive on that one). I haven't actually used an Intuos, but I do own a Graphire 3. If you're not a serious artist or aren't doing detailed work, a Graphire should suffice.

I've read comments that indicate that both types were used. The unit I have has a matte surface for the screen.

Well I used this with a Cintiq 24HD, so it should work in Cintiq 22HD since they both use the same technology as Intuos4. In the wacom page, they seem to share the same accessories too. So maybe.

I'm not sure what the difference is; however, I will tell you I am more than happy with the one I purchased. The surface texture is smooth, the fill is equally distributed in the squares (as it's designed) and it's warm. In either case, expensive or not, I don't think you could go wrong purchasing from this company. Their customer service is superior.

Hi! I'm not really sure. You probably would want to contact Wacom with an email and ask them what kind of nib is needed for the Intros Pen first. If it's the same one on Amazon then I would go with that. That's all I can think of to help you. Sorry and good luc.

The Wacom Intuos3 tablet does not display anything on the tablet itself; you have to get used to watching the PC screen as you're moving the pen over the surface of the tablet.Wacom does put out the Cintiq line of tablets which DO display your image right on the tablet itself, but of course these are much more expensive. The cheapest of these will set you back a thousand dollars, and even then, some of the people who have used the cheapest Cintiq seem to regard it as a beta product, a little rough around the edges. (There is a better Cintiq tablet, but it costs around $2000.)

ALL WACOM PENS USE THE SAME GENERIC NIB. [ The only exceptions to that rule are the wacom pens that use "art nibs" which have a fat white felt tip; and the wacom pens with a fat rounded rubbery end that is meant to be used on a touch-capacitive screen (e.g., iPad). You will certainly not mistake one of those pens as needing a "Wacom Pen Nib black stylus". It's impossible to get it wrong. So if you think you need a new nib for your Wacom stylus, get this product. You can't go wrong. ]

No it does not. Wacom products work exclusively with wacom products of the same make (intuos3 pen works for the 3 tablet, 4 for 4, etc)

Hello. I have both the Intuos3 and Intuos4 larger tablets. I have found the Intuos4 is a lot more convenient in that the key setup you can create for a specific program displays on the tablet. I had virtually the same set-up for a program like Photoshop CS4, but with my Intuos4 I don't pause and think, "What does this button do again?" It's right there. That alone for me is worth the price. But I got my Intuos4 in exchange for a laptop and docking station I wasn't using (bought a better laptop). I would say if you have a choice and the money, get the Intuos4. I have no regrets. I use my Intuos3 on my other, smaller computer, but only every now and then, and then for nothing too major.

I've had my files for a few months and have only used the orange file. I compared it with the unused files and they are all about the same as far as the surface goes. It's not like they have a rough surface even when they are brand new. The orange file still does a good job for me, and I use it 1-2 times weekly.

Although the active area of the tablet may map to your monitor size, the size of the active area still matters. From my exp, the small and even med Int4 are "writing" tablets because the active area is too small for the strokes adults make when drawing. Personally, I wouldn't go under a 12 x 9 active area for drawing...which, for the "starving artist", means looking at alternative brands to wacom.

Thank you for you question. There are several differences, a few would be the intuos Pro comes with the wireless kit in box, where the intuos 5 does not. The intuos pro also has improved touch sensor and design. For more information please contact Wacom support: http://us.wacom.com/en/support/

Thanks much. I bit the bullet and I just received my Intuos 4. Looking forward to it. Im starting off with Sketchbook Pro and can see how the keys will be very useful once I customize it.Thanks again for the comments.

Good question. I ordered both Ultra Fine Point & Extra Fine Point so I could decide which I preferred. They both appear the same on paper as far as the thickness of the writing. The Ultra Fine Point has a smaller point holder. The Extra Fine Point is shaped more like the regular Fine Point.

It is also my understanding that the Intuos is simply better built and more durable. I know people whose graphires die after only a couple of years. Some people though are still using their old serial Intuos 1's.

ss far as I know the nibs should work fine although I have not used the nibs on Microsoft`s Surface Pro. I use my nibs with the Bamboo pad and not on the screen if that`s what you mean. Sorry I could not help you more than that.
