Thanks KZfaq for corrupting the original upload. This one should be fixed.

My XP pen artist 12 randomly stopped working so I emailed the company and they said I could get the XP pen 15.6 pro or my money back YOU ALREADY KNOW I'M GETTING THAT ARTIST 15.6 PRO

Just a quick tip for people who also dislike having to press so hard for the tablet to recognize full pressure: you can calibrate that in the driver by shortening the line with the three red dots: move the last (third) dot to the left until it's at the half-way point and then move the second dot so that you'll have a more or less straight line again. This will reduce your overall pressure sensitivity gradation to "only" over 4000 grades instead of over 8000, but for me as a girl who doesn't like to press so hard it's perfect this way. Experiment to see what you like best.

tip: Shift+Windows+Left/Right Arrow Key will move the active window left/right a monitor; do that when it gets stuck on the tablet display

""You have to push harder on the screen than other tablets for a pen response. " you can change pressure sensitivity literally in the configurations to avoid pushing too hard and avoid scratching surface.

You can adjust how much pressure there is in the driver setting. Just drag the curve to the upper left corner and it will require a lot less pressure.

As an FYI for those who care: from my research, this tablet also seems to work well in Linux with all the normal set-up procedures (I don't have the tablet in hand to test, unfortunately). XP-Pen also seems to have a native Linux driver (unusual for tablets in my experience), so I should expect that this tablet will work great on Linux.

Thats a great review that mentioned many things that are overlooked by other reviewers. thank you, I am recieving mine tommorow, and might need to rewatch this again when I do :)

This is the best review of this tablet that I've seen yet. A weird issue I have is that the buttons don't really map well in Photoshop. For example sometimes the undo or PS Step Backwards button will go back multiple steps...other times it will only go one step back. I don't understand why...

Thanks for this review an set up instructions. Was just setting up this tablet an the review helped me figure out how things work.

I just got this tablet and I really appreciate the info! I had everything figured out but forgot to do the one thing of deleting my old tablet's drivers. Everything seems to work pretty great now! Thank you for making this video!

I’m trying to set up mine now, this was really helpful!

Great Video. I use an artist 22e pro and it's all great and was certainly one of the greatest choices I've ever made

Thanks so much for the help. I was having trouble with one of the setup steps in the instruction booklet and this went into WAY more detail. :3

Thank you for this. Just got mine today and I can't wait to install it later after class. Take care!

Just got one of these for my birthday. First display tablet. This video was very helpful. Thanks!

But how good is the XP-Pen Artist 15.6 Pro as a wingman on a date?

So impressed watching this review. I like your teaching style.

TOTALLY appreciate this tutorial! just got mine today for my B-Day, looking forward to it. Been a Wacky Wacom user for a bit, but I want to see what I'm inking.

It's sad that this is more detailed than videos BY THE COMPANY.

i am really grateful to you for the information you just provided thanks a lot!

Extremely helpful tutorial. Thank you!

Thank you kindly, and I ultimately went with this tablet for features and price late last year :) Also it has no issues with Fire Alpaca thus far :)

I got mine for 319 on sale! I'm SO EXCITED TO USE THIS!!! Thanks for the video!

Just got this tablet to upgrade from Intuos Art. Super excited & thanks for the video!

Great review. Thanks a lot.

Just got my Pro and this was helpful for the understanding what was going on with the pen set up. Also, FYI, GIMP (ver. 2.10.6) did not work well. There was about a 2 -inch offset/parallax. It wasn't there at first, but showed up later while I was 'playing around'. Uninstalled everything, then re-installed= same. Googled & found it is a problem with some people that is not always reproducible. Using Krita now until I'm out of the beginner phase...if ever.

That was veeeeery helpful. Thanks !

Yay another drawing tablet video!

I just got this today! And it is great!

Tks. Your tutorial saved me (although I didn't have the exact same window appearing for the setting)

mine arrives today, gonna completely change my workflow. hype

I'm going to buy a graphic tablet and maybe with screen, so, this review is very useful. Thanks for sharing !

Great tutorial !

Thank you so much this helped me so much

thank you so much for this video it helped me.

Really helpful! Thank you!!

On my old account I subscribed to you 3 episodes into your scribble kibble series and I haven’t checked in since I started using this account but I’m genuinley dissipointed that you aren’t getting thousands of views I’m glad I’ve rediscovered your channel

omg thanks for this i was so confused on how to plug it into my computer

Thank you, sweetheart. Finally I can work with my new tablet

Considering of buying one, thanks for the such a high quality video, also holy sh*t you have a gorgeous voice

Thank you for your video 🤗

Wish there was a tutorial as thorough as this I've been inspired recently to get outside of my comfort zone & decided on a whim to buy the innovator 16 15th anniversary by XP-PEN. It was on an amazing deal and I'm using this as a tutorial cuz I figure they can't be far off. I think I heard in another KZfaqrs video that these tablets are very similar if you do happen to know or seen a tutorial video as thorough as this for the innovator 16 tablet please let me know. I ask because I have never experienced anything like this pencil and paper is about the only thing I've experienced

As a lefty, bless this tutorial.

I feel silly for not figuring it out but thanks for demonstrating how to use the international plug adapters.

I purchased this. My experience is this: • I did not initially realize that the HDMI cable was in the wrong slot. If you have a graphics card, it needs to go into that one. Mine has a small plastic piece I had to remove with pliers to allow me to insert it. It was removed very easily. • One of my USB slots doesn't work. I tried a different one. It worked. • Setting the display settings to "Duplicate" is key. From this point on, everything else was simple. It works. It's bright. It's pretty. I am putting what I feel like is too much pressure for a screen (which I naturally am delicate with) yet the pen pressure is only registering about 1/4 of what it's capable of. That means you apparently can press REALLY hard down for the full effect. I do not have to press down that hard to get a line though. It's only for I guess if you want to transition from a larger stroke to a smaller one. From my perspective, this product works right out of the box. I am happy with it. I also think it's nice that the "K8" button is what you use to cycle between the scroller circle functions to zoom or do brush size. It tells you on the display what you are selecting. Everything seems very straight-foreword and easy to use.

ty great video!

this helped soooo much i have no idea how to do any of this stuff im so stupid when it comes to technology

Oh my GOD, Thank you SO Freaking much. I kept wondering why my csp sizes were so freakin big, and have been for 2+ years. then you show up with the display scalings... actually life changing. even though it shouldent have been. XD

All I had to do was plug in everything and turn on and boom everything 💯 was working. I did already have paint 3d on my tablet and it worked great on xp.i did add procreate and couple others but I actually love the paint 3d and how everything is set up on it .absolutely love this and I'm completely a nubee at electronics and actually only been drawing for few months doing realistic on paper. It is definitely going to take time for steady hand and blending and everything instead of just paper and pencils but I love it and extremely happy for my purchase I ordered the xpen deco pro gen 2 by accident because I had no idea about these things and finally after healing enough from surgery I found out it had no screen and extremely hard for me to attempt to connect. So I researched and got the xpen artist 15.6 pro just what I wanted to begin with. I will maybe someday try to use the other or sell it but was too late to return it .dumb dumb mistake and now I read everything more completely and several times.good luck and happy drawing

U need more SUBS. Not even joking u deserve more, Your also my favourite youtube so thanks for posting.

Good review, I like my Huion KAMVAS PRO 13 13.3 inch more by the looks of this though.

I want that bad, saving up for it.

This video came at the right time. I've been competing with buying huion ( which I've had bad experiences with ) or XP-Pen This and another video has comvinced me Thanks dear❤❤❤

excellent overview and was very helpful.

Thank you so much this video is a godsend! I have a question, your XP-Pen Artist 15.6 Pro came with the adapter cable for Mac? The tablet I bought online did not include it, I am so confused if this is an error or if they stopped including the Mac adapter.

Hi awesome video still waiting for my 15.6 pro to come through the post can you recommend the best drawing for a beginner thank you inadvance

Thank you so much!! Just got the gf a tablet and was just trying to help her set it up. Do you have any recommendations on either cheap or free drawing softwares for beginners?

Oh yes, also if you plug the red USB/extension cord to your computer instead an outlet, it should also work fine. This is pretty convenient for laptop setups where an outlet isn't always nearby.

Amazing review, I’ve never tested one of these monitors before, and this provided answers to most of my questions, however I would like to ask a few things, can I use this tablet as a single monitor without having another screen connected to my computer? Also will my movements when using the mouse show up on the monitor itself? Thank you to whoever provides some enlightenment to my questions!

Any solutions for an over saturated screen? Both my iPad and my main monitor look the same, but my xp pen tablet is showing things with an over saturated red tone. I’ve tried manually fit it with the display driver settings, but I’m not sure what to do. It’s frustrating as it makes my colors inaccurate and too dull.

Hey, thanks for reviewing this. I have literally just bought the same model and am receiving it delivered tomorrow... very excited. But, I've never drawn properly before and am learning art through using this tablet from tomorrow. Is there a course online that caters for learning art fundamentals the digital way? Cheers.

7:08 do you have a tutorial anywhere for your Photoshop brushes. They look so nice mine never turn out like that

this helped me so much! i couldnt find how to put the european power adapter on!

For anyone wondering if this tablet supports left-handed drawing (right-hand operated express keys), see 5:10.

how accurate are the colors? i want to work with print media, so color accuracy can be a deal breaker for me. some reviewers say that the red is too overblown and near-perfect calibration is impossible? can anyone give me insight? qwq

I know this is old, still I'mma put it out there: My XP Pen 22E Pro has that button problem you have with SAI (switching between eraser and pen) but mine's with Clip. Otherwise, she works great!

Thanks for the directions. I m having issue to display a white page on the tablet, where is the CALIBRATE BUTTON, PLEASE?

This was a lifesaver than k u

I had a problem with the pen getting stuck in eraser mode and had to go to an earlier driver, did you experience this? Thanks.

Notif squad hello

question - why do i need to uninstall other drivers? It worked the second i plugged it in so i don't get that part

Do I have to connect my graphics tab to PC Everytime I draw?I am a complete rooky in this matter..I am considering buying this

Can't believe there's no single word about parallax, how improved did it get as compared to the regular Artist 15.6 due to the Pro version's fully laminated screen.

I just got this and it's an amazing tablet but I have a small issue, after I took the plastic sheet off there's a fuzzy/noise effect on the matte protector (like when you get a screen wet or oily) I haven't really been able to find any info on what it is or how to fix it

What type of pc do you use? I'm trying to get into doing animation on graphics tablets and have no idea what type of pc I should get, even though I've seen so many videos on it.😅

Yes it worth the money!

Is there a way to incorporate radial menu into toon boom harmony using this tablet? I know that Wacom users have it in their software but not xp pen. I own this tablet you have reviewed here, I just wanted to know if there is any way to use the radial menu with it.

Quick question, I have the XP Deco 2 tablet and I was wondering how to increase the speed of the cursor. It feels too slow. I tried adjusting the mouse sensitivity but that didn't help. Thanks!

OMG you have minecraft in the top right hand corner at 4:00!!! :D

At 8:07, what software or program were you using, and how did you download it??? Or the 8:39 one? Please tell me 😅

If anyones having issues with the hdmi not working try getting a hdmi to display port adapter. Most computers have a display port you can use.

Hello I’m planning to buy a xp pen but I have no Idea with it, I have some questions if you can answer them thanks a lot! 1. From what I’ve seen it connects to the laptop? 2.does it need an laptop 3. Do you buy it from an website or you can buy it from any device shop? 4. Could you give me tip of nots and dos? 5. Which should I get from your experience 15.6 pro or 16 pro? Thank you if you answered!!!!

The tapering issue and high activation force is the biggest con of this tablet, maybe on the next revision they will fix those issue or maybe a firmware update can fix.

9:25 or windows+shift+left/right/(whatever direction is back to your monitor) to move it from monitor to monitor

my 15.6 in pro tablet is great, but the colors are a little warm compared to my monitors. how can i get them to get closer?

Is it a laptop or a PC with a tower cus I'm trying to find out how to use my xp-pen 15.6 pro with my pc

@Crowne Prince does this tablet must need a PC to work on? I mean can we use it without plugging into the PC?

Hello! Can I use the new stylus pen PA2 with the older model of xp-pen 12 or xp-pen 15.6 (16)? Thank you!

My seeing a xp pen 15.6 pro review on my xp pen artist 15.6 pro. Interesting.

Hello wanted to ask where did you download the adobe photoshop and if you had to pay for it ?

make sure you uncheck the Windows Ink box on the Pen Tablet control, as it may mess up the tablet's performance in Photoshop.

Are there any free programs you suggest for the artist 15.6?

What happen if you are working with this on a laptop and you need to unattached all the cables?And when you attached them again is it gonna work like before

It's a shame that they don't have an arazer because the XP-Pen Deco 2 has one and I really love it.

I would like to buy a graphics tablet integrated screen but I hesitate between XP-Pen artist 15.6 or Wacom Cintiq 16. Which one do you recommend? The software I use is called Paint Tool Sai 2 and I know that this software works very well with Wacom graphics tablets but for X-Pen I do not know. Help me ! I used Google Translate because I have a very bad English.

Did you get a light brown vignette around the display of the artist? I got mine 😔😔

Hello, we bought one only a few weeks ago. Just now, the screen wouldn't show anything other than the logo for a moment. It appears to be working in that images appear on the computer and the screen is clearly responding to the pen. But, the screen is dark. We be booted and rebooted, unplugged and plugged in all cables. No luck. Any suggestions? Thanks, Alex

Please please do a SLOW close up video of XP pen artist 12 your favourite express keys for all us newbies to try. Pleeease. Plus how do I get my open photoshop page to show on my Xp pen artist 12 display? Only the icons for apps on the bottom show.

It can be used without the power brick (meaning that only the HDMI and the black USB goes into the computer) if the computer has enough power to support it?
