XP-PEN is a subsidiary of Guangzhou Youji Computer Technology Co., Ltd., which does not have its own technology, and its core technology comes from UC-Logic. XP-PEN has a wider range of products than Youji, and the configuration is more suitable for professionals, but its main sales target is overseas users such as Japan, North America and Europe, and consumers can only buy it on its official website. In many foreign evaluations, XP-PEN has good products based on pressure sensitivity, driver stability, program compatibility, resolution, price and other aspects.
Star and Deco are both XP-PEN's pen tablet series, with read speeds ranging from 200-266 points per second, and the pen and screen display are basically synchronized, with no obvious delay. The writing resolution is 5080LPI, and there is almost no image aliasing, which meets the professional requirements. Both Star and Deco have pen tablets with wireless transmission capabilities, which can transmit data through USB wireless receivers, which is stronger than Bluetooth transmission in terms of immunity to interference, but unlike Bluetooth, which can connect multiple devices, this unlimited function can only achieve one-to-one operation. In terms of tilt pressure sensitivity, XP-PEN is not as popular as Huion, and only two pen tablets, Deco 01 V2 and Deco Pro, have this professional feature.
XP-PEN's Artist series pen display has a color gamut of 72% NTSC and a contrast ratio of only 700:1, which is average in pen displays. However, the Artist Pro display is extremely good, with a color gamut of 120% sRGB or 90% Adobe RGB, and a 1000:1 contrast ratio, which is on par with the low-end DTK pen displays of the Wacom Cintiq series. In terms of tilt pressure sensitivity, only the Artist Display 15.6 Pro has this professional feature in the XP-PEN pen display.
XP-PEN's products are not expensive and are thin and lightweight, with the price of a pen tablet ranging from 100 to 900 yuan. Due to the immaturity of the market, the price of the pen display is more expensive, but the price of XP-PEN is also within 3000 yuan.
