SOLVED: What is the Difference Between Wacom Intuos Products

If you spend time on Wacom pen tablets you will see the Intuos line is quite broad.  We found it quite confusing.

Below is a simple explanation of differences between the various Wacom Intuos products starting from the top of the line and moving down to the bottom of the line:

Wacom Intuos Pro:

The Wacom ‘professional line’ is larger and has more sensitivity in the pen / stylus

• Intuos Pro S = 12.6″ x 8.2″- 2048 pressure levels in the pen
• Intuos Pro M = 13.2″ x 8.5″ – 8192 pressure levels in the pen
• Intuos Pro L = 16.8″ x 11.2″ – 8192 pressure levels in the pen

The PAPER editions are the same as Wacom Intuos Pro but adds a paper clip at the top for you to actually draw on:

• Intuos Pro Paper M = 13.2″ x 8.5″ – 8192 pressure levels in the pen
• Intuos Pro Paper L = 16.8″ x 11.2″ – 8192 pressure levels in the pen

Wacom Intuos Art, Photo, Comic, 3D:

The real difference between these products is the software they come with.  All of these products will take input from your finger OR the pen stylus.  The finger / touch input can be disabled with a switch.

Wacom Intuos Draw:

This is the base Intuos product and only supports input from the pen / stylus.
