Regardless of the eras of history, art has always been a persistent means of creating wonders, protests and of course a generator of income, but as with any other branch of trades and professions it must be updated and take a step in the right direction, towards future of technology, but at the same time maintains that simplicity that connects the artist with the work. For this, the Repaper drawing tablet.
What is Repaper?
This new application of design and drawing, shows the perfect union between classic and new. Which is based on a tablet with a smart surface called ISKN Repaper, which at the same time is delicately sensitive to each stroke of a pencil or pen that occurs on its surface, which will be connected to an application on your mobile phone, laptop or desktop computer, which will copy exactly the same, everything you develop on the sheet of paper.
Which means that Repaper is a new way of carrying drawings or designs. created in handwriting to a digital worldl, in an exact and immediate way, which, of course, will be discarded or improved later, with the proper application of this technology.
How does a regular sheet of paper work with an application?
The main attraction of this design and drawing tablet is the promise that artists will be able to continue drawing by hand, with the typical common pencils and pens that they have always had, which, of course, applies a certain additional life to each element created, but how does that drawing made on standard paper of any quality or choice go to being perfectly copied on a computer?
This is possible thanks to the Repaper sensitivity ring, which is a small device that will be attached to the common pencil that you use, which will copy the exact movements and strokes that are made, although that is only the beginning, since those freehand movements are not enough to create an exact copy. This is where the tablet's sensitive screen comes into play, which is properly programmed to copy without errors, based on the strokes of the pen. Sending all that information to the application, which will show what it is creating on the screen of the chosen device.
Paper and pencil only
Without a doubt, any paper, regardless of whether it is rice, standard, cardboard or Kraft, will be useful, since it only needs to be a single paper. sheet of paper type A5, that is, measuring 8.5 x 5.5 half letter size, up to 180 g/m² or 110.5 lb, which must be attached to the tablet with its special hooks to prevent said paper from running or moving and with that you will be ready to start.
On the other hand, the pencil or pen also plays a leading role, and although any of these products work just by adding the drawing ring, many professional designers and illustrators already have their favorites, among which stands out Faber-Castell. That is why ISKN and this brand have made the first hand-held digital pencil available for this application, which comes with a 2 mm 2B lead and allows refills with leads in 9 degrees of hardness (4H to 3B).
There are even more benefits
The Repaper application and products work with a wide range of commercially available devices, of which you must already have some, such as macOS in its version 10.13 min. iOS in its version 11 min. Windows in its 10 min version and Android in its 7.0 min version. Likewise, its application allows the import of images and the export of these in JPEG, PNG, PSD, SVG and MP4 formats, that's right, you can also make videos, all of them easily shareable on social networks, after making or deleting the changes you want.
On the other hand, the tablet also has a mode “No screen”, which allows Repaper to run independently using the battery life six hours and its integrated memory. Which means that you can create it on the fly, no matter where you are located, in the applications of your choice, not to mention that it also shows an option for design in conference mode, to work together with other people.
Repaper Stylus Mode
Finally, designers will not be disappointed either because it can also be used as a graphics tablet through applications such as Adobe Creative Suite, Affinity Designer, Clip Studio Paint, Paint 3D, MediBang Paint Pro, among many more options. Which, of course, will also be compatible with a PC or a MAC, thus closing all the potential that this new technology has.
