Wacom Pen & Touch stroke issue...

Apr 11, 2012 2:44 AM

Tags: #issue #& #stroke #touch #pen #wacom #bamboo

I just resently bought a Bamboo Wacom Pen & Touch. while using this pen and tablet inside illustrator i get some unexpected/unwanted brush strokes.

the issue is this; when i etc. draw a circle using the mouse in combination with the brush tool, i get a circle, just like i would exspect.

Now if i use the Bamboo Wacom Pen & Touch to perform the exact same operation i get this unexspected result

My question is: Are the wacom bamboo pen and tablet just not competible with illustrator?

or is there a solution to this.

    Yeahh that would be my first guess aswell...

     

    basicly i bought the cheaper bamboo model to save money on the budget, since im not exspecting to use the tablet that mutch.

    this issue only seem to effect the cheap skate versions of wacom pen serie: the bamboo pen & touch

    http://eu.shop.wacom.eu/Products/Bamboo/Bamboo-Pen-und-Touch/?c=70305

     

    this tablet cost €90.00 euro which is significantly less than the cheapest Intuos model.

     

    had i only known then what i know now, then i would never had bought the cheap skate "bamboo pen & touch". €90.00 euro is still a considderable amount of money to just throw out the window on faulty hardware.

     

    so if any other of you out there considder to purchase a pen for your artwork in illustrator creative suit, then dont buy the "bamboo pen & touch" as this product seem to be effected by flaws that wont be solwed by any driver or application update.

     

    Personaly i will try to return the "bamboo pen & touch" to my hardware dealer and pay the extra amount of money they will charge for any intuos model.
