![Huion Kamvas 16 Pro (2.5k) vs XP-Pen Artist 15.6 Pro [Drawing tablet review]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/c47VL4mMpOg/mqdefault.jpg)
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.
Sorry, could you explain it again, i didnt get what i need to do. Im only new with the tablet and i realize i press to hard. Its a nasty habit cuz my hand starts hurting 😭
@@ioshkatabrat5891 Sure, no problem. Go to your XP-Pen driver software and take a look under "Click Sensitivity" where you have a graph that says Output on the left and Pressure underneath. You want full output, but only half the pressure. So, drag the little red dots so that it looks more like this: digitalarttabletguides.files.wordpress.com/2018/04/19-drivers.png
Evamaren Such a life saver thank you for showing an image also!
Yeah, still didn't work out for me. Thankfully I had Huion Kamvas 16 2021 and had no pen pressure issues whatsoever.
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
same with me!
I'm scared, if my Artist 12 pro stop working randomly, I live in a country were XP-Pen doesn't have support, so... :'v The tablet was a gift from my aunt
*What???*
Other companies? Pls take note from XpPen!! *This* is customer service!!
Stop JK why would they give you 15.6 for free when they could just give you the artist 12 again I am jealous lol
Yea I heard they have amazing customer service
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
Want to sell my 15.6 pro just used twice.12 months warranty
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.
That's one thing I like to see, the other I'm not clear on is if the screen is laminated and the amount of parallax. After a quick look it is laminated but I'll have to search further to see if there is any distracting lag or noticeable drawbacks.
Hi! I am not sure if you see this but i need your help. My brother download linux for the laptop cuz it cant handle windows pretty well. I want to download photoshop but he says that it will need coding,or smth like that to work since Photoshop and other Adobes dont support Linux. Do you know something that its easy to do cuz my brother doesnt know much about linux,here is my discord Vεnιce ◢◤#8676 if you know what I can do,Thanks!
@@venice7493 With respect, I have better things to be spending my time on than offering detailed technical support to a random reply on a year-old RUclips comment. With that said, I would direct your brother to look at WineHQ for information about getting older versions of Adobe software working through WINE (current versions do not work, best I can tell). Otherwise, if your brother is unwilling or unable to tinker to get it working, I would suggest he investigate one of the many quality Linux compatible alternatives to Photoshop (Google searches will get you much farther than I'd ever be able to). For general Linux help, I'd direct you to the Ubuntu forums or the Arch Linux wiki. Reddit *can* also be helpful, but I wouldn't rely on it for a primary source of information. And whatever your distro, their respective forum will probably be the best source of comprehensive and direct help.
Yep! Support for Linux-based desktop OSes is one thing I like about Ugee, XP-Pen, and Xencelabs pen tablets and displays.
I mean, as far as I know, Wacom One/Intuos/Cintiq seem to have partial support on desktop Linux. I had tried using a basic Wacom Intuos (2015 model) on Debian 9 (before I bought my XP-Pen Artist 13.3 Pro) and found the shortcut keys to not work correctly, but it probably had been fixed by now.
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.
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 :)
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!
@Gym Knopf Hey there! Yes you need it to be hooked to a computer as it acts like a second monitor. It comes with a little card with the website to download the drivers it needs to work! It's a very nice beginner and professional tablet.
""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't change the initial activation force.
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...
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 for this review an set up instructions. Was just setting up this tablet an the review helped me figure out how things work.
I’m trying to set up mine now, this was really helpful!
I got mine for 319 on sale! I'm SO EXCITED TO USE THIS!!! Thanks for the video!
Do you still like it, was it a good choice?
Just got one of these for my birthday. First display tablet. This video was very helpful. Thanks!
Do you still like it, was it a good choice?
@@koool56 +1 i would love to know..
@@koool56 Must of fell in love with it and cant leave it to answer these questions..lol
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.
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 :)
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!
So impressed watching this review. I like your teaching style.
Just got this tablet to upgrade from Intuos Art. Super excited & thanks for the video!
Nice, I'm also been using the intuos art for 3 years now. Decided to buy this xppen 15.6 pro. How is it going for you so far?
i am really grateful to you for the information you just provided thanks a lot!
Extremely helpful tutorial. Thank you!
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.
I'm going to buy a graphic tablet and maybe with screen, so, this review is very useful. Thanks for sharing !
But how good is the XP-Pen Artist 15.6 Pro as a wingman on a date?
He'll let you draw them like one of your french girls.
Well ,you can draw you self , on a date, with a winged man
He’s a little flat.
Not good. Trust me I brought him and he totally ruined it
That was veeeeery helpful. Thanks !
Tks. Your tutorial saved me (although I didn't have the exact same window appearing for the setting)
Yay another drawing tablet video!
I just got this today! And it is great!
It's sad that this is more detailed than videos BY THE COMPANY.
mine arrives today, gonna completely change my workflow. hype
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
I've found that it tends to happen when either a) someone switches up thier content type and people don't unsubscribe or b) they need to work on tagging. Both are a possibility here.
I just got this today, I was going to go crazy.
omg thanks for this i was so confused on how to plug it into my computer
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 RUclipsrs 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
thank you so much for this video it helped me.
Considering of buying one, thanks for the such a high quality video, also holy sh*t you have a gorgeous voice
Thank you so much this helped me so much
Thank you, sweetheart. Finally I can work with my new tablet
Really helpful! Thank you!!
Great review. Thanks a lot.
I feel silly for not figuring it out but thanks for demonstrating how to use the international plug adapters.
Good review, I like my Huion KAMVAS PRO 13 13.3 inch more by the looks of this though.
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.
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
this helped soooo much i have no idea how to do any of this stuff im so stupid when it comes to technology
Thank you for your video 🤗
Great tutorial !
As a lefty, bless this tutorial.
question - why do i need to uninstall other drivers? It worked the second i plugged it in so i don't get that part
U need more SUBS. Not even joking u deserve more, Your also my favourite youtube so thanks for posting.
ty great video!
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
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
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
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.
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?
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?
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❤❤❤
Do you still like it, was it a good choice?
replying to people who found this comment, yes it's an amazing tablet, absolutely love it
koool56 thanks
@@koool56 Yep! I still have to to this day. The only issue I've trutly been having is when I don't use it for a while, the pen and command buttons restart. But it's not a big problems

I want that bad, saving up for it.
this helped me so much! i couldnt find how to put the european power adapter on!
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!
Yes. It literally just a monitor where you can draw on it.
Thanks for the directions. I m having issue to display a white page on the tablet, where is the CALIBRATE BUTTON, PLEASE?
7:08 do you have a tutorial anywhere for your Photoshop brushes. They look so nice mine never turn out like that
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.
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.
if plug the cable to the power outlet do need to plug in the my laptop aswell?
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 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
Mines didn't come with an adapter cable 4 mac.
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
Does anyone know if you can activate multiple express keys at once? (On the tablet, not the pen) for instance: set one as ctrl, one as alt. Pressing at the same time to make ctrl+alt. Zbrush requires these keys separately and together to use.
I realize this is a year old at this point but does anyone know of any good stands/swivel arms for this tablet?
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
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!
Had you delay between the pen and Cursor on XP pen 22e pro?
Sai has a setting to switch back and forth between eraser and pencil
can anyone help? I'm trying to use pen pressure function on photoshop but it's not working. like, the brush is constant, rather than on my pen pressure. is it the driver, or could it be photoshop?
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!!!!
excellent overview and was very helpful.
Is it bad if i don't connect the red usb cable to a power source?
So far i've been using my tablet without connecting that cable (i only connect the black usb cable and the hdmi cable to my laptop), and it seems everything is working fine
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?
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
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.😅
Im having issues with the eraser tool. It doesn’t erase, rather it draws. Have you had this problem before? How to fix it?
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!
Hi I have a question I just got it for Christmas and I don’t have the white Mac plug for my XD pen 15.6 for my Mac.
Hey, What do you do if your hdmi plug is being used by something else?
I don’t have an hdmi on my laptop if a get an adapter it’s still work right
I can't even get the tablet to display as a second monitor. The last usb cord that was supposed to plug into the computer (I'm using a desktop) was too short so I had to use an extension usb. Does that make a difference:? This is so frustrating, nothing i do seems to fix this problem I have in the slightest....
i'm trying to put mine to left handed (180) but the screen on my pc gets upside down, what should i do?
@Crowne Prince does this tablet must need a PC to work on? I mean can we use it without plugging into the PC?
When I press the red cross for calibration, the pen pressure is recognized, but the red cross dosen't move. It stays in the top left corner and dosen't move when i touch it, does anyone know what I can do?
My windows is a windows 10 and i need help on how to get the tablet to get a display on it without it saying no signal and turning off but still function despite the screen being completely black
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.
At 8:07, what software or program were you using, and how did you download it??? Or the 8:39 one? Please tell me 😅
So I just got this. And my screen on my xp pen monitor has a pink tint how do I get rid of that
My screen in flashing and it keeps freezing on the tablet but not the computer what do I do?
Stupid question but do I really need to plug it into the power outlet? While using it, I wasn't aware right away that it was not plugged into the power outlet yet it sill works fine.
What happens if I keep on using it without having it plugged in?
I just got my 15.6 pro tablet but whenever I plug it into my computer the screen on both my computer and my tablet start flashing. It also says no connection on the flashing screen of the tablet. What do I do?
I have it all plugged in correct I get no signal on the XP pen and do not detect second monitor on computer.
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.
You should check out Skillshare (not sponsored, lmao), but they offer really great tutorials and lessons for all sorts of things. Some courses require payment, but they're all quite cheap and I highly recommend them, Other than that, you can search up digital art courses and you should find something.
How did you like the Tablet? Everything good?
