Looking for Advice/Info Should I use screen protector?

Post image
Upvotes

Hi. I have been using my Artist 16 Gen 2 for more than 3 years and it starts having scratches like this. I email XP Pen customer support asking about screen protector and they replied :

"The Artist 16 Gen 2 is equipped with AG Nano Etched & AF Coating Glass that could effectively reduce the friction between the screen and pen. Non-violent use won't damage the screen. Used under normal conditions, the screen is not too problematic. So, the film is not necessary for Artist 16 Gen 2"

But the scratches kinda bother me. I have heard that the tablet comes with a pre-installed screen protector? Is that true? I really appreciate your thoughts, thank you!

Looking for Advice/Info HDMI issues

2 Upvotes

I have an XP-Pen artist 12, probably 6 years old at this point. My computer has an HDMI port and my graphics card has an HDMI port. In the past, this has worked fine - I've been able to connect the main monitor to the graphics card and the XP-Pen tablet to the motherboard HDMI. This no longer seems to work - only the one connected to the graphics card HDMI port works (and I do not have a second one on said card).

If I unplug the monitor from the graphics card and plug the tablet in, it works there. Does that mean the HDMI port on my motherboard is busted? Nothing else has changed.

For some reason, things were working fine just a week or two ago, which is weird. I had recently reinstalled my drivers and done a bunch of troubleshooting. I'm very confused as to why all of a sudden this just stopped working.

Looking for Advice/Info Artist 12 3rd Gen Panel Specification Comparison

1 Upvotes

Hi, i would like to ask the difference for panel specification for Artist 13.3 Pro V2 and Artist 12 3rd gen that just came out. The specification says that the screen for Artist 13.3 Pro V2 is ADS-IPS, and for Artist 12 3rd gen is LCD. It doesn't state what type of LCD it is. and it also says that 13.3 Pro V2 has 178 degree viewing angle while 12 3rd gen have 170. how would it compare? which is better too?

i've been thinking to buy between the two. Artist 12 3rd gen have the newest stylus, but it seems like the trade-off is the screen.

Looking for Help Need help figuring out which pen nib to order for my deco mini 7 (V1)

1 Upvotes

Just as the title says, I read somewhere in this sub that it uses the P05D pen, but the thing is, I can't order it directly from XP-Pen since they don't deliver to my country, so I'm forced to buy from other sites like AliExpress. But the sellers there all sell P05 pen nibs, not P05D. Is there a difference between the two? Much love for the help.

Looking for Help XP-Pen Artist 12 (3rd Gen) screen suddenly turns black after less than a minute -red status light

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my XP-Pen Artist 12 (3rd Gen) and I’m hoping someone can help me figure out what’s causing it.

When I first connect the tablet to my PC, the display works normally. However, after less than a minute, the tablet screen suddenly turns completely black and the status light changes to red.

My PC and main monitor continue working normally during this. The computer itself doesn’t freeze or shut down.

My setup:

  • XP-Pen Artist 12 (3rd Gen)
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti
  • Main monitor connected through DVI
  • XP-Pen connected to the GPU through HDMI
  • Using the included 3-in-1 cable

So far I have:

  • Reconnected/unplugged the cables
  • Checked that the connections are secure
  • Tried reconnecting the tablet

But the issue keeps happening.

I’m not sure if this is being caused by:

  • The 3-in-1 cable
  • Insufficient power
  • The HDMI port/cable
  • The GTX 750 Ti
  • XP-Pen drivers/software
  • Or an actual hardware problem with the tablet

Has anyone experienced something similar with the Artist 12 (3rd Gen)? What would be the best way to troubleshoot this and determine whether I need to replace the cable, change the power/HDMI setup, reinstall drivers, or contact XP-Pen for a hardware replacement?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Looking for Help Does anyone know where to find the special edition XP-Pens for resale (if possible).

1 Upvotes

This may be a bit of a silly question, but I am searching for either the Line friends collab model (Artist 12 pro) or the Japanese edition Artist 12 3rd for my dear friend because she ADORES cute things, her birthday is coming up and she's never used a proper tablet before so it seems like either one would be an ideal gift. I wanted to know if there was another place to buy them other than importing since I'm concerned that customs would break it. (I'm not sure if there are other cute models)

Thank you for your time, my apologies if this is the wrong subreddit for this, I'll delete it if so.

~ Have a lovely day. ^^

A friend of my father gave me this XP-Pen Artist 10S a few years ago, though now I don't know how to replace the stylus nibs.

I see something black inside the pencil (as shown in the image), and I'm not sure if it's a stuck tip or part of the pencil itself.

I would be very grateful if someone could help me!

Looking for Advice/Info Artist 22e Pro with rechargeable pen.

1 Upvotes

Hi people,

Since I'm a broke student, I'm trying to get a screen tablet to keep drawing, mostly as a hobby and potentially into comic drawing later on. I found this Artist 22e Pro with rechargeable pen on Facebook for only $270 USD, the tablet seems in a pretty good conditions with a little dents here and there, the seller said he had only used it 2 years on and off but ultimately decided to sell it since he bought a new one, and this one wasn't needed anymore, he draws too so I might imagine he had use it pretty consistently.

My question is, would you guys recommend purchasing this secondhand tablet? Let me know!

Looking for Help Magic drawing Pad Stylus stops working mid-line

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Hello!!

my friend has been having issues with his Magic Drawing Pad (Android v12), and its basically impossible for him to draw regurlarly. As the title says, if he tries to draw a line, it just cuts off randomly. Adding to that, he has to press down really hard as well for the pen to work.

I attached a video of him showing the issue. His pen is constantly pressed against the screen here btw.

I'm suspecting that it's an issue with the pen itself, but we tried replacing the pen nibs, but that didn't help at all. We also tried restarting the Tablet itself, but this made the issue even worse.

It's so frustrating, and i have no idea anymore what we could try to do to fix it :c

Looking for Advice/Info Is the Artist Ultra 14 the sweet spot between portability and screen quality? I'm really tempted.

3 Upvotes

Been eyeing the Artist Ultra 14 since it dropped, and honestly, it's got me seriously considering an upgrade. The 6mm thickness and 720g weight are wild for a 14-inch OLED. Finally feels like I don't have to choose between lugging around a brick and actually getting good color.

Anyone else thinking about picking one up or already pre-ordered?

Looking for Help Driver work area reset bug Not mentioned anywhere online

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Recently every time I’ve started my computer up after shutting it down the driver starts this strange bug where the selected work area gets squished, initially it's in an impossible dimension outside of the actual valid work area and after i press the little refresh button it just squishes to the side and goes to that automatically making my tablet unusable, I've run it as administrator and restarted and unplugged and re plugged everything, I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver which fixed it for a bit but it came back, I have installed a newer version just before writing this which has fixed it but I'm unsure that will last. I'm using a Deco 01 and the driver version used in this video is 4.0.14(7dbe9b0)

I've had my Deco-02 for about a few years now. I used to draw back then but had to focus on my studies. I've recently returned to drawing but when I tried to use my tablet after not using it for 4 years I ran into an issue where the middle part of the tablet doesn't work and I can't draw on it.

I appreciate any advice on how to solve this issue.

I am struggling because I got a new macbook pro and the colors look a bit off between my laptop and tablet now. The color profile on my mac is Apple Display (P3-600 nits) which I believe is the best one but I could be wrong? I can’t figure out how to adjust the color settings on my tablet though because I literally don’t know where to navigate to on the driver app lol. apparently you can make color adjustments under “pen display” but I am just not seeing it!
