Inking allows you to write digitally in your own handwriting, making it possible to take notes on your computer, sign your name, jot an email to a friend, highlight important parts of a document, or even sketch out a diagram.
It's like writing on paper, but in a way that can be saved, edited, and shared as a digital file. Imagine having the potential to change the way you communicate by sending personal messages and fun drawings, annotating driving directions, or just making someone's day with a little humor.
Even if you've never used a pen before, it's easy to understand why the pen is intuitive to use—it's just like writing with traditional pens, pencils, and markers. Only, when you use Bamboo, you touch the pen tip to the tablet surface to make a mark appear in a corresponding place on the screen.
Bamboo models that include a pen make digital inking possible, but you should check your computer specifications to see whether your operating system and software support inking. Inking works best with Office 2007 and Microsoft® Windows Vista or Windows 7, which includes a number of pen-friendly features.
With five different tablets to choose from, find the Bamboo that suits your interests and needs. Bamboo Pen & Touch, Bamboo Fun, and Bamboo Craft combine pen and touch input into one tablet, while Bamboo Touch is touch-only and Bamboo Pen is pen-only.
