This month, Wacom is launching its latest tablet gadget named Inkling. Like previous systems users handle a digital acting pen that transmits its movement via a reader to the computer. But unlike before, there is no need to be infront of a computer anymore. Now, Illustrators and Designers can sit by a coffee in a Café, scribble in their sketchbooks and bring ideas to real paper without the need to scan it in afterwards.

Inkling comes with a real ballpoint pen and a transmitter that receives the pen’s lines while drawing. Thanks to a little add-on, the transmitter can save the drawing in editable layers. Additionally it records not only the stroke, but also its applied pressure that later gets converted into different weights. After connecting the recorder via USB to the computer, the artwork can be open in vectors or pixels, compatible with Adobe’s Creative Suite and is ready for refinement.
