2048 Levels of Pressure Sensitivity

Pressure Sensitivity is the key parameter of graphic tablet, which means that the pen is capable of telling the system the amount of pressure that being applied to the tablet. The clearest example of this demonstrates when you are drawing. Pen pressure can be used to provide the same of effect that you get with the brush or a pencil. The harder you press the pen tip on the tablet surface, the thicker or darker the line may appear. The higher pressure sensitivity, the better control of precise drawing line.

1060PRO+ has 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity, which is the highest in graphic tablet area. This tablet can create variations in line width and opacity, which makes you feel as if you are drawing with a real pen. Moreover, with 233 RPS high report rate, the tablet enables you to have an accurate and fluent drawing experience.

Active Area of 10” x 6.25”

PENPRO 1060PRO+ adopts the active area of 10” x 6.25”, which is the most popular size of the Huion product lines.

We all know that active area plays a very important role in selection of a good graphic tablet. The smaller active area, the less hand movement will be necessary to move the cursor on the screen. However, having a drawing tablet too small for your screen makes cursor jumpy and accurate selections difficult. A drawing tablet too big for your screen would slow your drawing speed, requiring too much hand movement. The active area of 1060PRO+ is neither too big nor too small, very suitable for long time use. Along with the 5080 LPI High resolution,  you can use comfortably with a big screen, resulting in very smooth and accurate lines!

8 Express Keys and 16 Soft Keys

 8 physical express-keys on the left and 16 hot cells on the top of the tablet are all customizable, which provides you more ways to tailor your software experience and raise your work efficiency.

The smaller active area, the less hand movement will be necessary to move the cursor on the screen, but it requires a higher resolution.
