How does this compare with Drawtex? Are they similar products?

I'm not familiar with the Drawtex product, but can tell you that Enluxtra did absorp the wound drainage but did not remove the slough and as a result the wound treatment was changed

Drawtex is THE MOST painful wound dressing I ever experienced! My nurse had to soak it for 15 minutes before removal and I was crying every time when had dressing change.

I've never used drawtex, so I'm afraid I can't answer that. However, I can tell you that I love it and my doctor does too.

Enluxtra has the following advantages:- absorption is several times higher;- absorbed exudate and microorganisms are locked-in inside the dressing and are not released back to the wound under body pressure;- absorption is not reduced by compression wrap;- prevents desiccation of low exuding wounds or wound edge;- supports autolytic debridement of dry slough or scab; - reduces pain and is painless on removal;- has breathable and fluid/microbe impermeable backing film that prevents exudate break-through;- amount of absorbed exudate may be observed through transparent backing film without disturbing the wound;- does not need additional wound contact layer or secondary film dressings that reduces overall costs.

The Blackwing writes faster and smoother than either of those options. Honestly, I have had bad luck with the Mirado Black Warrior lead being "scratchy" on the paper, and I strongly dislike the Mirado's eraser. I've only ever had one "bad" Black Ticonderoga but it's the one I'm using now. But the Blackwing is still far smoother than the Ticonderoga. It also has a darker line, but it stays sharp just as long. The quality of the finish is also better if that matters to you, with a matte black very sharp paint.

Yes. This is the canvas I use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004VLLC3S/

I am a cartoonist. I have been drawing on paper, scanning into Corel Draw, manipulating and shading the drawing, export as a Jpeg and e-mail it away. Just went to the "world standard" of Adobe Illustrator and having trouble getting up to speed. However, Amazon does sell "Ai for dummies". I got a used one, great price and brand new, and I am starting to make "some" headway on the learning curve. Hang in there, I'm 82. Now I'm looking for a Huion tablet "Dummies" book. Jerry

It works good with the sketchbook for android app that I use on a dragon touch 10.1 inch tablet. I haven't finished complete sketches with it yet because of all the features that comes with it, but am able to color scanned or photographed pencil sketches from my portfolio. The only difference I'm unsure of is that I have a screen protector on my tablet and the pen to screen interaction might be a little off if you don't wipe your screen first since the tip is micro fiber. But all in all I think it's a good pen because it has a sharper and more visible point to allow fine long strokes, but depending on your software that can be easily fixed with zoom and a range of point size features.

You can either draw into the program on a sketch layer, or if you draw on paper you can scan it, either or is good. i recommend a great drawing tablet however.

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.

Yes its worked great for me. outline drawings are actually the best. color photos n stuff come out blurry usually. but yes for outlines its awesome. I'm happy with the machine. jus make sure ur outline is nice n dark. it comes out perfect every time.

Heather - I just have this ordered myself and although I've never used it I have drawing friends who swear by it. When Amazon had it at 50% I had to jump at it. It was supposed to be here yesterday so hopefully today but I can post my opinion after I've tried it. I can ay all my art friends love it and we all work professionally. I do illustrations and comic books myself. Bt if I were in your shoes I'd spend the 40.00 for it because I've worked with lot of art programs and for 40.00 for something as powerful as this is supposed o be you just can't go wrong. So I'd take the leap.

I am not exactly sure, but I will tell you this- I normally use hp artist matte canvas quite easily, but the Epson canvas clogs my pigment ink printing machine, it's a bit thicker for sure. And it is harder to cut too.

For kids, there is an app for Windows 8 & 8.1 called "Fresh Paint". I found this app utilizes the features of the brush and can even print out in large format. It was the app featured in one of Microsoft's TV spots.For more adult applications, we use Sketchbook and Sketchbook Express by Autodesk, which is constantly being tweaked and renamed but remains a great application.

Yes, great program but quite old now. I am now using Serif products (PagePlus) which is similar but much more uptodate.

ahh i see...but I'm still confused...because on the wacom site it said that all intuos include Nik Color Efex Pro, Wacom Brushes 3, and 2 programs from a list. (just like the list above my comment)So basically, the acad version is the same as the original? ;;

I use Corel Draw and Photoshop to prepare my files. By that I mean, I create my logo, design, etc. in the program (corel draw) and safe it as a low bit PNG file. Then I go over to the Sure Cuts A lot program / screen and import or place the previously created/saved file on the matt (desktop of surecutsalot). The critical part here is, that sometimes the matt does not show the trace / outline image I created, after hitting the cut window button. So you have to play around a little, go back to Corel and adjust, re-save the pic, etc. And redo. It does work for me, but remember.. the more lines, corners, trickiness your design has, this cutter has its limits. Now if you question is, if the Corel opens or works directly with the Cutter, without the SureCutsAlot software, I do not know or have not done that. All in all, if you are good with Corel and play around with creation - import / paste - trace - cut it will take you maybe an hour to figure it all out. The biggest problem I had, was that if the pic / design is not properly traced, even though it shows perfectly on the surecutsalot matt / screen, It will suddenly cut through the middle of your design / vinyl and ruin a big batch of your material. Which was hard, because I hate wasting material. But if that happens, then the customer service recommends to redo/reimport, etc. But even better to create the design in surecutsalot from the start. surecutsalot does not really offer much design play room, so id rather redo. I hope this makes somewhat sense. I love the cutter for the price. And recommend it. Customer Service is American based and very helpful. I believe people get frustrated with the item, because they do not understand the connection between software and cutter. Good luck

Firealpaca is a new, free drawing program that is updated regularly! It's fairly simple, even if it's not as versatile as SAI (For example, no vectorize tool yet). Otherwise, I'd suggest torrenting Photoshop CS5 and looking up tutorials.

I don't know--my experience is that it did not work for me at all, and I was trying to transfer a pattern to needlepoint canvas. It did not show up at all.

I would recomend Paint.Net or Gimp. Paint.Net I believe supports tablets and is basically a cross between MS Paint and Photoshop tools, Gimp I've never used but I've heard good things about plus I believe both of them are free.
