Inspired by members of Wacom’s professional community, the next generation Intuos is anchored by the Intuos4’s amazing new pen performance, capable of capturing the slightest nuance of pen pressure against the tablet surface, as well as offering 2,048 levels of pressure sensitivity.

Other innovative product modifications include a refined and intelligent industrial design that provides real advancements in looks, comfort and control. Specific workflow and productivity tools to savor include the shortcut and modifier keys with multiple customisable and application-specific profiles as well as the OLED (organic light emitting diode) displays beside the keys for quick reference.

OLED Display

The Intuos4 has eight programmable application-specific ExpressKeys on either side. “There is an accompanying soft blue OLED display next to each key with a graphic to help you remember what you assigned to what buttons. You can also adjust the brightness of the OLEDs. Once assigned there are icons automatically updated on the tablet like the hand tool shows the hand symbol as seen in the Photoshop interface. Very nice touch,” notes Pill.
