FAQs:
What makes the Artist Pro 16 (Gen 2) different from older models?
The Gen 2 model introduces the X3 Pro Smart Chip Pen with 16K pressure levels and a higher-resolution 2560 × 1600 display. Together, these improvements give smoother pressure transitions, sharper visuals, and more accurate pen tracking than earlier generations.
How does the screen feel to draw on?
The fully laminated display keeps the cursor close to the pen tip, which improves accuracy. The etched anti-glare glass adds a slight texture that helps control strokes, especially when drawing slowly or shading.
Is the size practical for daily use?
Yes. The 16-inch screen offers more space than compact displays while remaining manageable on most desks. It’s large enough for comfortable illustration and layout work without feeling oversized.
What role does the X-Control remote play?
The wireless X-Control remote lets you assign shortcuts for tools, zoom, brush size, and other functions. This reduces reliance on the keyboard and helps you stay focused on the drawing surface.
Which systems and software are supported?
The Artist Pro 16 (Gen 2) runs on Windows, macOS, Android, ChromeOS, and Linux, and supports most major creative applications, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Clip Studio Paint, Krita, and Blender.

Buy now pay later
The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
