Is there any advantage to having a larger tablet over a smaller one? I used to only work on large tablets when there was a resolution advantage. These days they all seem to have 1024 pressure and 5080 lpi resolution so does anyone know why they prefer a larger tablet? Currently I'm using a 6x8 Intuos which has been fine for the amount of paint work I'm doing but been thinking of getting a second tablet rather than dragging the 6x8 from station to station. My Geezer Moment ----------------------- My first tablet not only had a cable attached to the pen but the pen weighed as much as a tattoo drill and had so much electronics in it that it would get really hot when used. The tip was metal and would cause the tablet surface to be replaced often as it would pepper it with little divets where the most popular menu buttons were located. OH! OH! AND, we would have to "comb" it with a large magnetic bar to keep it from causing "runaway vectors". Wierd but true.
