What tablet are you guys using? My friend bought a Wacom, small in size, cost her RM270, now the price is around RM230.

Is this the cheapest brand can get at shops?

not the cheapest, but wacom is good

i only can afford a chep rm70 tablet

rm70 huh?
where u buy it?

Wacom is the recomended tablet for all professionals.. but I think there might be other brands undiscovered. But world recognition is more towards Wacom since their models are rather high end.

haha.. i used Genius tablet.. cheep. only RM130...

come on...if u r serious in digital painting.. Wacom Tablet is absolutely worthy to invest.
At least get their Graphire series.

dun ever trust others brand if u cannot test em on the spot.

Wacom is an international honour product. Lotsa artists using this brand. Guess this is the only brand u can buy without testing it(so far).

some brand,u will feel like drawing on a glass. Sometimes their stroke will comes out awkward n strange.

totally agree with dinodog_Jr. wacom is undoubtly the most essential tool in digital painting. depending on ur purpose, usage & budget, u can choose either the simpler Graphire series or the more potential Intous series. i own a Graphire4 which is enough to serve my multimedia purposes but when it comes to digital painting, Intous3 will be the big dog.

where u buy it?
size?

my one is genius 8x6
quite nice and cheap
so far no prob

forget about using the Grapphire for graphic work as it sucks. Get the one above it, I believe it's called the Intuos.

hey guyz
where u buy genius talblet?
Under 100 got or not?

for wacom graphic tablets, wat's the range of price like for its Graphire series, and the Intous series?

where do yall shop for graphic tablets? I'll be checkin' out Low Yat perhaps [don't know about their prices and options of models to choose from though, for now]

here are the official pricelist according to wacom
http://www.my.wacom-asia.com/price/price.php

i bought my graphice4 at lowyat in a mac shop.

i only check on Intuos 3 price range. I bought at SG 330. 4x5 size. Bought at Sim Lim Plaza, Singapore.

6x8 will be another SG150 to SG200.

Lowyat is hard to find last time. U can try to ask 4th Floor. Intuos adverstisement at their shop stall.

(Well, they sell at high price..)

U can wait for Pc fair if u want..

TAke note the Intuous 3 got short-cut btn on the drawing pad which allow to set ur favo hot keys.

i dunno bout graphire series performance.

p/s: I think Startec can order. Just give em downpayment.

not really just a bit

den someone do a bulk sales den
bring in wacom tablet into msia from sg

save u about rm 60 to rm80...
the bigger u buy the more u can save..

oh gosh
someone do bulk pls

I have been using a Wacom Graphire 2 4x5 for years, and now I'm using an Intuos 3 6x8. Invest in at least a graphire, that's my advice. I tried 2 other brands and damn, it can't beat a Wacom. Particularly because their pens include batteries and the sensitivity is different.

Wacom Graphire do the thing now. Serves my purposes.

Though when I got the money, Intuos is a definite must.

got elcheapo tablet graphic?

i'll definitely head to sing for the wacom tablet then.

b4 u go down SG.. think of ur Bus fees, travelling fees.....

ask ur SG friend to help u buy it.

i think dont have
if im not mistaken lah
bcoz that time i only look the bigger one 8x6
u just bring RM100-RM150 if enuff already
to buy the smaller one

where?
lowyat go or not

wacom tablet kinda expensive

anyone pls give me the exact model name pls
around RM200 de

genius tablet..u can easily find it at Sri Comp and All IT Hypermarket
other shops...only sell Wacom

your 8X6 cost how much?

genius tablet good in digital painting?

yea, i've got someone down there who could bring it rite to my doorstep at no additional costs. heh.

around RM190 i think
forgot already

someone want to sell it..

thanks.

Too bad, a brand new Graphire 3 is only RM200+, while the NEW Graphire 4 is RM 350.
He kena conned must be, paying Rm600 for a Graphire 3 is way too pricey.

Graphire 3 if u can find maybe around 300 below... if Graphire 4 will be 300 something like that.... try your luck man goto the imbi there maybe will got old stock...last last last time i goto but Graphire 2 i think white editon somemore only RM 235 ... but that time was get 3 lah hahaha with my friend

Its a 6x8 not 4x5, so dont think he kene conned

Yes, i didn't see the measurement properly. His one is A5 size, the one I'm talking about is smaller size (I think its the smallest size).

I just called up All IT, Lowyat. They are selling RM680 for the A5 size Graphire 3. Crazy!!

The small one will do ler.

Ya, if you wanna go big, baik beli Intuos terus

Saw this crazy price Wacom monitor tablet costing SG5000 at IT fair from SG days ago...

The touch on the screen is just like drawing stroke on the tablet.

Very smooth n impressive output.

now THAT is my dream birthday present!

i've been using graphire 2 for about 4 years now. bought it in imbi plaza. the retail price at the time was rm399, but somehow i managed to get a bargain of rm250! bought the thing right there.

i've tried other tablets. most are not as good as wacom, in terms of pressure sensitivity, tilt, function, speed, resolution and ease of use.

I think der will be a Portable wacom tablet soon...Sure will cost even higher than this.

Der is a 17 inch model cost around SG1700plus.. Forgotten too~..

The price scarying me off again..

anyone know where to get a Intuos3 4x5

i have a graphire 2 for 5 years now. Always wanted to change a bigger, better and newer one, but this one never seem to rosak!

I don't know y'all, but I do feel the graphire 2's size is just the size I need.. the bigger ones which i've tried are seemingly occupying a lot of space on the table.. Maybe i'm not used to it

u know what, i've found a reason why i need a bigger tablet. the bigger tablet is more accurate when drawing. for example, try drawing a circle on the smaller graphire2, and compare with the bigger ones. the smaller size means even the slightest jolt on ur stroke will be translated exponentially on screen. means u have to be really, really steady using smaller tablets.

to add to that, bigger tablets allow u to use bigger, wider strokes (arm strokes rather than just wrist strokes).

now i'm just waiting for the price to get a wee bit more affordable

SG220 , 1 year usage, IT3 (4x5)

Enjoy guys!~

cool, thanks for the link, another thing i want to know is how long does the intuos pen nib last?

coz i dun see alot of place in malaysia is selling this wacom product.

i bought my IT3.. it provided three xtra plastic white nibs(same to the original one), one black nib and one grey wif mini spring nib.

You need to pull out the nib & change their position when u feel it is "dull".

Guess all these nibs enuff for u to use until 8 years? HAHA...

Sorry, back to Q.. i dunno where to get these original nibs too..

jz bought my graphire 4 for 380 at kk..T_T so hard to find it
anyway..when i wan to draw with the tablet..the line seems to be smooth and suddenly jolted out to left or right ..wonder whats the problem..is it me?


This post has been edited by hikashi: Apr 27 2006, 06:25 PM

try to draw wif ruler... just wonder r u a good liner. hee..

u can try to check the tablet setting from Control Panel.

problem still exist =/
anyway i found a temporary fix for it..
put 1 more layer of thick board..so the sensitivity not that high..

btw, the setting can only config the tip feel, eraser feel, and db click thing

OMG, RM380 is over-priced. Lowyat Cycom selling at RM320, i got mine for RM300. Bought it from a lecturer, through a Wacom distributor. Comes with 1 year warranty.

I'm still reading the manuals, going to instal the driver soon and see my lines straight or not.

T_T..i know too bad i live in KK, Sabah!

Im still looking for intuos3, 6x8 >_>.

went to a shop, they got the stock, but after double check, there is no pen inside there

Oh man, anyone know how to adjust the tablet cursor.

If I point the tip at upper far left, it will follow the monitor screen, i want to disable this mode. Anyone know?

i think what u need is to switch between mouse mode and tablet mode. just go to ur tablet settings control panel, there should be a mode selection under "mapping".

already sold my graphire 3(A6) for RM170..hurm...
