HUION Inspiroy H1060P Graphics Drawing Tablet with 8192 Pressure Sensitivity Battery-Free Stylus and 12 Customized Hot Keys, 10 x 6.25 inches Digital Art Tablet for Mac, Windows PC and Android

Worth the $$$
After using this particular tablet for a couple of months now, and being an owner of the more expensive WACOM 21″ LCD drawing screen and their very early 12″x12″ tablet, I felt I am qualify to make an educated assessment of this product.Pros-THE PRICE!!! I have tried tablets from various vendors other than WACOM a few years ago and found them all lacking in all categories. But now, the products being made are much, much better to the point that that they are nearly compatible with what WACOM could offer. WACOM had the monopoly on digital tablets for the longest time and they knew it too, thus the very hefty prices they demanded. Being professional graphic designers for over two decades, I could not but have to shell out the price for WACOM products, until now.The drawing surface was very comfortable to draw on, and also because of the large real estate it offers.The rechargeable pen is also a joy to use too, though not as slim as the WACOM, I found the fatter body felt much more comfortable and I could use it much longer- hours on end!The overall thickness of this tablet was also very easy and comfortable to use, sitting butted up against the front edge of my laptop, with my right hand drawing with the pen while my left hand punch out the quick keys on the keyboard for the likes of Photoshop and Illustrator, etc.And once again, the price!!! With so many sellers online here, take your time shopping for the best deal with the most bells and whistles they would offer!The Cons-I have to admit, the precision is not 100% as commanded by WACOM products but hey, for this price, 99% accuracy on pixels is more than enough for me, a worthwhile tradeoff for the price! Besides, with the ability to zoom in with any graphic programs, I need to worry little on how precise I need to get. On a side note, I have to admit that I missed the nearly 1000th of an inch zoom of CorelDraw as opposed to the zoom limits of the Adobe products.I found that loop on the right side designed to hold the pen in place very lacking. Maybe it was just my particular tablet but it was simply a section of black ribbon, with no elasticity whatsoever, so the pen would simply slip out with no resistance whatsoever. I have found myself initially slipping the pen into that loop and proceeded to put the tablet into the included spandex-like bag only to find the pen has slipped out and dropped onto the floor in the process- very frustrating; I simply ignore that piece of ribbon and pretend it’s not there anymore. I wish they could have used some elastic material instead.And the cap of the pen was also very loose, it comes off at the most inopportune time and never stays in place. I would recommend the manufacturer use a rubber material that would cap the pen more snugly; I know for sure that I will lose that cap soon or later!Though I initially programmed all those function keys on the left side of the tablet, I soon found myself resetting the top ones back to no function as it was very easy to accidentally hit them and changing whatever drawing tools I would be using. It was far easier for me to simply use the keyboard for programmed hot key strokes. Then again, I never really use any of the function keys on any of my WACOM products too, maybe that’s just my preference.The pen-activated programmable ‘keys’ along the top edge were pretty useless! Once again, I could simply use my left hand on the keyboard instead of dragging my pen away from the drawing surface, to reach up to that line of hot spots just to activate certain functions and then, whipping the pen down to the exact spot where I was drawing last, thus breaking whatever continuity of creating- very counter productive I feel.Overall-I would readily recommend this tablet for pretty much anyone, unless you got your company to pay for a WACOM and not out of your own pocket.Finally, instead of buying those ‘special’ drawing tablet finger gloves, I simply buy myself some very inexpensive dark brown/black cotton utility gloves from dollar stores and cut off the tips of the thumb and two fingers; each such pair would last me a long while and when they get very dirty or the edge frayed too much, I would simply throw them away and use the next pair; at less than a dollar a pair, I could get a whole bunch for what they asked for those special gloves!Well, folks, these are simply my opinions, I hope these would help you decide on the purchase and venture into letting your creativity loose!Update-I purchased the 15″ MacBook sleeve for less than $10, as I bring the tablet with me often to local coffee shops to work on, I needed extra protection inside my backpack; it was of heavy felt construction and quit adequately protect the tablet. Initially, it was a snug fit but over time, I am sure the tablet would slip in easily. The sleeve also has one large slit pocket and two smaller ones in the back, wonderful to store the pen, USB and pen charging cables nicely. I also put the extra pen tips in a small plastic zip bag before putting them inside one of the small pocket.

Having never used a graphics tablet before I tried my daughters Huion 580. I loved it but found the drawing area to be too small. I then Bought the HUION 1060 PLUS. This is much bigger and the drawing area can be adjusted using the downloadable software.The addition of the rechargeable pen is a massive plus and so far I have not had to recharge after the initial setup. (Getting on for 3 months, daily use, about 3 hours per day)The Tablet surface itself is nice and smooth, it is not rough like some others I’ve seen since buying this, and it makes for a nice easy glide with the pen. The pen does feel a little chunky in your hand to begin with, but after using it for a while, I have become accustomed to it. The pen pressure range is really good. I have used this tablet and pen with Photoshop and MediBang Paint Pro and it does well with both, however, the presets and some functionality seem geared specifically for Photoshop. The downloadable software will let you change some of the tablets hotkeys and other settings though.The Hotkeys themselves are very useful. Once you have them set to the shortcuts or keystrokes that you need, for example, “Brush Tool Selector” or “Eraser Tool Selector” possibly even “Brush Size Plus or Minus” etc. You get the idea. Some of these are pre-set, others you can please yourself. The one downside of the Hotkeys is their colour. I found it difficult at times to see them clearly against the surrounding of the tablet. I ended up putting little stickers on with icons of the shortcuts to remind myself what key did what. There are also some “Soft keys” at the top but I have never used them as this would mean cutting down on the drawing area.All-in-all this is a great graphics tablet at a great price. Is it going to be as fancy as the top end Wacom products, NO, but it isn’t going to hold you back either if you want to touch up your photos or create some digital drawings or even start your own Manga series.Would I recommend it, Yes I would. If you are looking to get a Graphics tablet but aren’t sure yet on how they work and don’t want to fork out mega bucks, get one of these. Once you get over the first few little hurdles you will be glad you did.

Una tavoletta grafica altro non è che uno strumento di input (come una tastiera o un mouse) che consente, attraverso una penna speciale, di tracciare segni (più o meno come si farebbe con carta e penna) sulla tavoletta e vedere il vostro lavoro direttamente sullo schermo del computer.Potete usarla con computer mac o pc purchè vengano rispettati i requisiti di sistema (Windows 7/8/8.1/10 e Mac OS X10.8 o superiori). Io la uso con un macbook dotato di iOS Sierra senza alcun problema. E’ necessario installare i driver affinchè funzioni al 100%. Potete scaricarli dal sito della Huion senza problemi. Il passo successivo è usare un programma per il disegno digitale e la compatibilità da questo punto di vista è ottima.Possiamo utilizzarla, con vari livelli di soddisfazione, con software come Corel Painter, CorelDraw, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Fireworks, Macromedia Flash, ComicStudio, SAI, Infinite Stratos, 3D MAX, Autodesk MAYA, Pixologic ZBrushand, Sketchbook, ecc.La risoluzione di ben 5080 LPI (linee per pollici) fa si che i movimenti sulla tavoletta vengano trasposti sul monitor in maniera molto precisa.La sensibilità di pressione con i suoi 2048 livelli, ci consente di modificare lo spessore e l’opacità del tratto a seconda di quanta pressione esercitiamo sulla tavoletta con la penna: ottime sfumature, quindi, e disegno più realistico.Sul lato sinistro sono presenti 12 tasti programmabili a piacere, molto utili durante il lavoro per accedere velocemente ai comandi maggiormente utilizzati senza operare direttamente sulla tastiera. Tramite il software che scaricheremo possiamo utilizzare anche 16 softkey programmabili. La vasta possibilità di personalizzazione è in grado di trasformare questa tavoletta in una perfetta appendice creativa. Ovviamente la creatività non è inclusa ma dovete mettercela voi.La tavoletta si collega al computer tramite cavo USB-A e MicroUSB. E’ compatibile con Windows e Mac OSX. Senza i suoi driver ovviamente non funziona ma potete scaricare quelli relativi al vostro sistemaoperativo direttamente dal sito Huion. Va detto che questa tavoletta non è touch, quindi non possiamo utilizzare le dita, ma per funzionare ha bisogno di una penna idonea.La penna è fornita con la tavoletta (cosa che non accade sempre per altri marchi) ed è ricaricabile tramite usb: 2 ore di ricarica assicurano 800 ore di funzionamento. Possiede due tasti programmabili a piacimento mediante il solito software. E’ facile da impugnare (ottima l’ergonomia) e ben bilanciata, io mi ci trovo bene. Se non l’avete mai utilizzata, all’inizio dovrete esercitarvi per un po’. Nonostante possa, ad esempio, essere utilizzata anche alla stregua di un mouse non è esattamente la stessa cosa. Sfrutta la risonanza elettromagnetica che consente di individuare con estrema precisione la posizione della punta sulla tavoletta e quindi sullo schermo.Di fianco c’è un piccolo slot nel quale troviamo già inserita una scheda di memoria microsd da 8Gb espandibile a 64Gb: utile a salvare momentaneamente i vostri lavori.Nella confezione troviamo anche un pen holder dentro il quale sono inserite 4 punte di ricambio oltre alla mollettina per la sostituzione delle stesse. Comodissima è il sacchetto custodia nel quale riporre la tavoletta quando non la usiamo ed il guanto speciale utilizzabile (se vi ci trovate bene) per il disegno.La Huion Animation Technology propone diverse soluzioni per tutte le tasche e per tutti gli usi. Questa tavoletta ha specifiche tecniche che la mettono di fianco a dispositivi molto più costosi e per uso professionale. Il prezzo contenuto, tuttavia, la rende adatta a chi vuole imparare e divertirsi con il disegno digitale, a chi, come me, si occupa di post-produzione fotografica e . Una delle cose più importanti nell’acquisto della prima tavoletta grafica è, soprattutto, capire cosa ci si deve fare. Inutile spendere un casino di soldi solo per fare rough e sketch. Questa tavoletta, alla fine, considerate specifiche tecniche e costo, è qualcosa di più di un semplice punto di partenza.E’ la seconda tavoletta grafica della Huion che ho in casa. Rispetto alla precedente versione questa New 1060PLUS presenta alcune migliorie non trascurabili come una maggiore area di disegno (area attiva 25cmx15,8 cm), la nuova presa microusb e la nuova penna che risulta sensibilmente più leggera della precedente (solo 14gr) e con integrato il power saving mode che la mette in stand-by dopo 10 min di inattività. E decisamente un buon prodotto. Consigliata.
