High sensitivity pen tablet: precision at its best Wacom Intuos3 User

After 4 years, Wacom improved and upgraded their top-of-the-line graphic tablet, the Intuos3, which provided the maximum 1,024 levels of pen tip and eraser pressure sensitivity. However, Wacom pushed the limits with impressive technological breakthroughs, and released the new Intuos4 in March 2009.

Despite the fact that the Intuos3 series has been discontinued, this page still provides the Wacom Intuos3 tablet basics upon which the Intuos4 graphic tablet and the Cintiq interactive pen displays were modeled.

Have fun and be passionate about your work

With the accompanying Wacom Intuos3 Grip Pen, you easily command your software's tools by varying the pressure you apply with the pen tip to the graphic tablet surface. Based on how hard you physically apply your pen tip to the drawing area of the graphic tablet, you dynamically control and adjust things like exposure, line thickness, brush size, transparency, opacity, color, and more.

Turn on the power of creativity with Photoshop, Painter and many other applications. Experience the ingenuity, the freedom and the ease of working on your most challenging endeavor with a Wacom Pen Tablet.

The Intuos3 graphic tablets may be gone, but the Intuos3 Accessories will continue to be manufactured for two major reasons:

• to provide spare parts, if needed, to Intuos3 pen tablet owners and
• Intuos3 digitizer pens work with Cintiq interactive pen displays.

Why is it so easy and natural to work with a Wacom graphic tablet?

Holding a pen is more natural than grabbing a mouse and provides greater control.
The sloping, contoured palm rest of Wacom pen tablets provides comfort while you work.
Freedom and accuracy are enhanced with the accompanying cordless and battery-free ergonomic pen.
Every point on the Wacom graphic tablet has a corresponding point on the screen, therefore, the cursor on the screen precisely follows the pen’s or mouse's every move on the pen tablet!
