It doesn’t have indentations or a grip, but it has a good balance in the hand. The pen weighs 17 grams and is comfortable to hold. It covers your pinkie and ring finger only, so your hand slides smoothly across the screen. Without it, you may find that your hand may stick to the screen while drawing broad strokes.Ī screen protector is included, but you might choose not to use it. The included glove, which is pretty large, keeps your screen clean and smudge-free. Others just like to finger paint or manipulate tools by hand, or use gestures to pinch, zoom, and navigate.

Multitouch isn’t necessary to draw with and some artists don’t even use it if they have it. Reasons to use multitouch are to take advantage of the increasing Adobe software touch features, and it can be seen as future-proofing the device for a while. Unlike Wacom, the XP-Pen doesn’t offer a multitouch model. The 178-degree viewing angle means the picture will be clear even if you are standing somewhat to the side of it, up to 89 degrees on each side. Pen accuracy is very good, and most people say they do not need to calibrate it as it’s calibrated correctly out of the box. You can choose a 4- or 9-point display calibration. The matte screen of a Cintiq tablet tends to mute the color, though many find it preferable to draw on as it offers a paper-like “bite.” There’s no real difference there. On the XP-Pen’s glossy screen, colors look brighter the Cintiq tablet color gamut covers over 90% of Adobe RGB and the XP-Pen over 70%. The display, color quality, and resolution are equal to the Wacom Cintiq 22HD non-touch model. Controls are on the right side, but they don’t need to be used frequently. The tablet is not multitouch, meaning you can’t use your fingers to paint or do anything on it.

The company that product development is in the U.S. XP-Pen started in Japan in 2005, has offices in Taiwan and China, and in 2015 they opened offices in the U.S. The XP-Pen 22 does not have any Express Keys.

The main difference between the XP-Pen Artist 22 and 22E is that the 22E has Express Keys, two sets of them: one on each side, for left- and right-handed use. XP Pen tablets are lower priced than Wacom’s, and have much of the same functionality. You can read our review here: XP-Pen Artist 22E review, art testing.
