Wacom Intuos 4 Grip Pen Wacom Intuos 4 Grip Pen Compatibility Intuos4

The Wacom Intuos 4 Grip Pen is the professional freehand tool and the standard pen for Intuos4 tablets. It is designed for extended use, with a waisted rubberised grip area that reduces gripping force by up to 40% to relieve stress and reduce writing fatigue. The pen weighs 18 g and comes in black; it is compatible with Intuos4 devices and intended for digital artists and designers who need precise, ergonomic control.

Advantages

The Grip Pen combines optimum weight and balance with tilt sensitivity to provide a natural drawing experience. It includes two customisable side switches and a pressure-sensitive eraser for intuitive workflow control. Multiple replaceable nibs are supplied (stroke nib, flex nib and three felt nibs), offering different drawing feels so one pen can serve several functions.
