I've dealt with Maplin without any problems, but I can't vouch for pen compatibility with Artrage.

It comes with a version of Painter and a lot of software.
I mention Painter as the only clue to it working with ArtRage.
I will now wash my keyboard out with soap. :lol:

High sensitivity on pen pressure for £25

I bring it to your attention because it's cheap and available.
It could also be cheap and nasty.

Don't know conversion rates, but it was priced at 60 pounds before it was reduced. That would have made it roughly comparable with the Wacom graphire of similar dimensions. I paid about 80 USD for that a few years ago.

Priced to sell. Wonder how long it will remain at that 25 pound price? I have a sneaking feeling that the price will be creeping back up to where the Wacom tablet is, should they start getting sufficient sales.

Saw a similar thing happen with my Canon Digital Rebel XT.

If I needed a tablet, I would be getting it now. That's a terrific price. And it comes bundled with software? Man. They're giving them away.

Photoshop CS and not Photoshop Elements?
Photoshop CS goes for over $600 here in the USA.
Of course you can obtain a 30 day trial version by visiting their web site, so if the tablet comes with trial versions, Wacom is a better deal for bundled software since Photoshop Elements, and Painter Elements are full version OEM software with no time limitations for trial use only.
