Excited to get this newest product from xppen
As a former Wacom user, a magazine publisher and graphic designer by trade, I feel that this XP-PEN Artist 16 2nd gen tablet is excellent quality and value. I had been using Wacom for 13 years and recently decided to switch. This is my third product from XP-PEN and I am completely impressed with the brand's performance and pricing.

Great for light retouching, design sketches or other creative projects
I’ve been a photographer for several years and always edited my images with a mouse. I previously tried using a graphics tablet, but never got over the disconnect from looking at my monitor and drawing on the pad. I recently got into interior design/home makeovers and wanted to give drawing/editing with a pen another try but didn’t want to use the family iPad for my work. With this product, I can use my existing iMac and Photoshop.

I really love the tablet, but it is advertised as being able to connect to game consoles such as the nintendo switch to play games on, however it doesn't seem to work with mine? I have tried every possible way to connect my tablet and my nintendo switch but it just doesn't want to work, at most i see my switch detects a screen but it doesn't actually show any footage? How is this possible?

Hello
The working area of Artist 16 (Gen 2) is different from that of Artist 16 Pro, so the protective film cannot be adapted.
The Artist 16 (Gen 2) protective film is currently out of stock and is expected to be restocked in early February.

Does it work with Clip Studio Paint ? What's the difference between the Artist 16 2nd Gen and the Artist 13 2nd Gen ? Is this beginner friendly ?

Oct 16 ,2024 PM 18:04
Hello
Artist 16 (Gen 2) needs to be connected to a computer to use and cannot be used independently. As long as your computer can use Clip Studio Paint, Artist 16 (Gen 2) is also compatible with Artist 15.6 Pro.
If you have no problem using cable connection, then we recommend you to buy it.
Artist 13 (Gen 2) and Artist 16 (Gen 2) are slightly different in size, weight, color gamut and system compatibility. If you want to know the detailed parameter information, you can compare them through the following link.

Hello
Artist 16 (Gen 2) does not support touch functionality.
Artist Pro 16TP perfectly combines multi-touch and stylus functionality. You can easily zoom in and out of the canvas, rotate the canvas, and navigate more freely with your fingers while painting with the stylus.
