Solution: If your brush is not landing where your nib touches the screen, you may need to calibrate your pen. To do this, follow these steps:

If you have Windows 10,

1. Right click on the blank area, then choose Display Settings , set your monitor to 1920x1080(the resolution of the tablet.) if you want to use "Duplicate mode". If you want to use "Extend mode(extend these displays)", set your computer monitor to its own resolution and the Artist 12 to 1920*1080.

2. Set "Change the size of text, apps, and other items" to 100%.

3. Ensure that your two or more screens are parallel and aligned.
