Trying to come up with a way to stabilize pen with the 8 panels. Seems to move around much more when bigger. Any ideas?

I have the same issue when my pups jump up on the panels.....I've found weaving bungee cords in and out thru adjoining panels helps significantly. Hope this helps! I still LOVE the pen, so much better than crating! :)

Hi Karen, I know what you mean. I need a top for mine which they don't make for the 8 panel size. I used an old patio umbrella with the pole cut off and lashed the bottom of the umbrella to the top of the panels with those little plastic connector ties from the hardware store. Now it looks like a little circus tent and stays in the right shape! I've gotten lots of complements on it. Hope this helps. Barbara

I haven't had any problem with the pen. I have two yorkie puppies and the one that uses the pen is the 7 month old and It holds up pretty good, and he is a strong little fellow.

I have never had a problem with that. If I were to venture a guess as to why this is happening, my first question would be - what are you trying to clip it to? The only way I could see this coming off is if the clip was streched beyond its capacity. If you use a clip board, clip the pencil to the inside of the clip, or a couple top sheets of paper. It's not made to clip to anything thicker than a composition notebook cover. The other suggestion of bending and super glue sounds like a reasonable fix for the existing problem.

Isn't the active surface of the Intuos 3 bigger? (I am upgrading from an Artpad Digitizer II medium, where 6x8 really does mean 6x8).

Try putting five sheets of regular paper in the bottom of the feed tray before loading the transparency paper. Also, I add the transparency paper one by one to make sure the sheets don't stick. Works for me.

I use 2 monitors so the speed at which the pen would travel across two monitors would be way too fast. The 2 factors you should consider is the desk space you have available - they do take up some room and how "twitchy" you can tolerate with the pen. Yes, the speed can be controlled but only to a point. I found the small to be way too small and the large way too big and required large muscle arm movements and that's tiring all day long. The medium was the best compromise. Cut out a couple of pieces of paper the size of the working area and lay it alongside you keyboard. You will quickly determine what will work best for you.

You have to use double sided post-it notes and the weight of the top holds it in place ;-)

I used small velcro Command Strips instead of the hanger on the top (it's retractable, so I just pushed it down so it doesn't show). I put 1 command strip across the top, the bottom, and spaced 2 along each side and velcro'd it to the wall since many people will be taking forms in and out of the various folders. It makes it a little more stable, and the strips worked great!

Im using a MBP and a 4X6 tablet right now...and am going to take back the 4X6 beacuse it is too small and feels "jerkey" to me. It is only about 1/4 the size of your laptop, so a small move becomes a pretty big one onscreen. You may have different needs, as I am using mine for CAD (yes, they are *wonderful* for CAD), so keep that in mind.

It's possible, with some creative engineering. Remember these panel use a thin rod to connect the panels together so they won't stay straight across they will flex back and forth a little. A solution for that would be to run something long and straight at the bottom of all the panels and use cable ties to secure it to the panels and that will prevent them from flexing at their joints...Hope this helps. On the other hand these are awesome play pens and can be used in many different configurations along with cable ties the possibilities are endless. These are the nicest play pens I've ever found and use daily. It's possible, with some creative engineering.

It's funny... I had the same concerns.But there is a new driver that fixed a big portion of that.But truthfully... The tablet draws fine. Most of the jitter I saw on the YouTube demos was due to pulling lines in their software incorrectly.I put out a Web comic each week, and have no problems.Feel free to check out the lines if you're curious.1d4Rounds.comAnd contact us on there with any questions... Im happy to answer any questions I can.

I tried to make mine into a square and could not because 2 of the panels are at a fixed angle (i.e., they are at an obtuse angle and can't be straightened to 180 degrees or bent to 90). Perhaps this is just something wrong with my item though and not intentional. That being said, I really like this item and am very happy we purchased it. We use it on carpet so do not have any problems with it sliding around. I have no complaints about it whatsoever. We use it very frequently.

I know what you mean. It can be frustrating. If you loaded the program setting properly, even then the pen sometimes has a mind of it's own. Sometimes it's how your holding it, but I never figured out what makes it act that way. When it does work, I'm relieved. Just some kind of tricky situation.

Twist the bottom of the pen counter-clockwise holding the top part still in your hand until it fully retracts Or twist the top which is my favorite, counter clockwise holding bottom still to have pen retract, the opposite to have the ink cartridge to come out. No more marks on your shirt or anywhere else. I also use Fischer Space pen insert BOLD type, writes like a dream!! Have a great one!

Try some hot water. warming up the pen will make it expand and let go of the nib... It may take a couple of tries be patient and be gentle.

Ok my question is 256 pressure sensitivity being part of the digitizer makes sense to me. My question is pen tilt support. That would seem do depend on how the Wacom pen was designed and built. So that if I upgraded the Wacom pen I could have tilt support for thicker lines when heavily tilting the pen.Am I making any sense? Is this possible? Is this true? For this in the know what kind of Wacom pen would you recommend?

I chose to get the smallest size because of desk space in my cramped office and limited budget. I'm actually using it right now. I found I adapted to the smaller pad size really well and can draw freely. So I don't find it an issue at all.

I had a similar issue and found that I needed to adjust the little bobbing pin near the handle, it should be standing straight up at full pressure so try to use a pen to adjust it.
