How Does a Wacom Pen Work?
Digital Technology The Wacom Company, LTD manufactures a variety of digital pens to be used in conjunction with digital tablets that replace and refine the functions of a normal computer mouse. Popular with graphic designers, a Wacom pen allows the user to draw and sketch on a digital tablet with precision. The Pen The digital Wacom pen is slightly thicker than a normal pen, and features a dual-purpose switch near the tip. The designer presses on either end of the switch to perform typical mouse operations, such as selecting an object, opening a menu to adjust the features of the pen, or adjusting the thickness, the style or the size and color of the brush stroke. In addition, the tip of the pen utilizes a replaceable stylus that makes contact with the tablet. By reversing the pen, the artist can “erase” mistakes.
