When was the last time you used a pen for an extended period of time? The most writing we get now is jotting down a quick note on a Post-It. The most movement our fingers get to have is by using the Swype keyboard on our phones. Years of practicing our penmanship in school are wasted when we’re thrown into a touchscreen world when we graduate. But we can’t get rid of this technology. So how do we get the best of both worlds?
Styli are starting to revolutionize how we write, sketch, and design. Evolving from a more precise method of selecting items on the screen, pens for our devices now enable us to input our own writing, sketch flawlessly, and fall in love with holding a pen again.
Wacom Co., Ltd., the world’s leading manufacturer of pen tablets, interactive pen displays, and digital interface solutions, is launching four products that aim to pioneer pen technology to consumers and graphic designers alike.
Wacom’s latest products include its consumer range of styli: the Intuos Creative Stylus 2, the Bamboo Fineline, the Classic Bamboo Solo, and the Bamboo Duo.
Building on the success of its predecessor, Wacom’s new Intuos Creative Stylus 2 comes with a fine solid tip for increased visibility and intricate detail for sketching, drawing, and painting on an iPad. A premium on-the-go for creative professionals such as artists and designers, it now also offers USB charging options, a flared front to support a variety of holding styles and side-switch for ease of use.
The Bamboo Fineline Stylus aims to connect consumers who are keen to stand out from the crowd and express their lifestyles creatively. Offering everyday tools with a difference, the Bamboo range takes natural movements such as writing and makes them digital.
Crafted with care from high quality materials, the Bamboo Fineline Stylus is a smart stylus for the iPad. With a new ‘thin tip’ technology, it makes navigating, writing, sketching and sharing on an iPad totally effortless. Encouraging creative expression and inspiring ideas when working digitally, the Bamboo Fineline Stylus’ features also include pressure sensitivity and palm rejection for increased precision and a more fluid action.
Undisputedly, a pen is the most natural tool for human beings to express thoughts and ideas. The 3rd generation Bamboo Stylus Solo (for capacitive devices) and Bamboo Stylus Duo combines its styli technology with a traditional ball pen for use on capacitive devices and all sorts of paper.
Both carry a new, carbon-coated rubber tip that makes sure of a very smooth and near-natural feel while writing, sketching or navigating directly on the screen. It is introduced in six, fresh colors such as silver and grey for traditionalists and shiny blue, bright green, sunny orange and girlish pink for the fashionistas.
