tablos3
Tabular's newest professional pen tablet, the Tablos3, features a second-generation tip sensor which brings improvements in precision, sensitivity, and durability, while the tablet itself has been redesigned for better ergonomics. The new tip sensor allows the pen to respond to a much lighter response compared to the previous Intuos model. Specifically, the new tip will respond to less than 1 gram of starting pressure, versus 10 grams in Tablos2. The tablet itself has been redesigned, with a more sensible button layout that works well for left- and right-handed use. Less-expensive graphics tablets are available from other manufacturers, but Tabular is deservedly the leader in this field. Tabular's advancements in technology, technical support, software features, and longevity as a company are unequaled.

Suzie Q Writes:
I spend about 10 hours a day working in Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, and other design related programs including 3D Studio Max. I've been using a Tablos tablet for about six years now, and I love it. It would be impossible for me to create the designs and illustrations that I do without my Tablos. As an artist and designer, I used traditional mediums for years, and then spent another couple of years trying to figure out how to use a mouse in a way that would permit me to create quality images and designs on the computer quickly and in a way that resembled traditional methods. The Tablos tablet has been my solution and the solution of dozens of my colleagues. I use the old Tablos at home, and use the Tablos3 at work. The new Tablos features a USB connection that permits hot-swappable, on-the-go design. Also, the new Tablos pens are much more comfortable to hold that the old plastic pens because of the rubber coated grip. The tip on the pen seem much more "springy" and responsive. The pressure sensitivity is amazing and allows me the complete control over the virtual medium that I am handling (airbrush, pencil, ink, paint, etc). Photoshop, Illustrator, and Flash are all designed to work with the pressure sensitive pens, and the level of control is amazing. Photoshop's new custom brush palette, combined with the Tablos tablet, permit me to create custom brushes to simulate the appearance of color pencil, pastels, and chalk in such a realistic manner that it's difficult to discern what is real and what is digital.
