Working with your Cintiq
Page 26
USING THE GRIP PEN
The pen is cordless, battery-free, and senses the amount of tilt and pressure you exert upon it.
HOLDING THE PEN
Hold the pen like you would a normal pen or pencil. Make sure the DuoSwitch is in a convenient
location where you can toggle it with your thumb or forefinger, but not accidentally press it while
drawing. As you work with Cintiq you can rest your hand lightly on the display screen. You can tilt the
pen in any way that feels most comfortable.
Place the pen stand within easy reach. When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen stand, the pen
holder, or lay it flat on your desk. The stand allows for vertical or horizontal placement of the pen.
To maintain the sensitivity of your pen, do not store it in a container where it will rest on its tip or eraser.
To personalize your pen, unscrew
the tip cone and replace the
colored ring with one of another
color (included).
Refer to “Customizing” on page 34
and to the electronic Software
User’s Manual for information on
customizing the pen settings.
