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.
- Intuos 3D = 8.5″ x 5.36″ – 2048 pressure levels in the pen
- Intous Comic = 6″ x 3.7″ – 2048 pressure levels in the pen
- Intuos Photo = 6″ x 3.7″ – 2048 pressure levels in the pen
- Intuos Art Small = 6″ x 3.7″ – 2048 pressure levels in the pen
- Intuos Art Medium = 8.5″ x 5.36″ – 2048 pressure levels in the pen
Wacom Intuos Draw:
This is the base Intuos product and only supports input from the pen / stylus.
- Intuos Draw = 6″ x 3.7″ – 2048 pressure levels in the pen
Pro Tip: The company name is pronounced with a “short a” like “waa-cum”
