For two decades, XP-PEN has been quietly reshaping how illustrators, designers, animators, and note-takers work. What began as reliable stylus tablets has grown into a full creative ecosystem—screen tablets (pen displays), truly standalone drawing tablets, note tablets, precision 16K pressure stylus technology, and pro accessories—all backed by free EU/UK delivery, a 24-month warranty, and responsive local support.
If you’re choosing your first drawing tablet, upgrading to a color-accurate 4K display, or switching to a backpack-friendly standalone device, XP-PEN’s 2025 lineup balances accuracy, portability, and price. Let’s tour the range and help you pick your perfect setup.

What’s New: 16K Pressure & Pro-Grade Control
The leap from 8,192 to 16,384 pressure levels isn’t just a spec bump—it’s the difference between “good” and butter-smooth micro-control when feathering lines, hatching, or glazing paint strokes. XP-PEN’s X3 Pro Smart Chip and X3 Pro Pencil 2 (with 16K levels) bring lower initial activation force, higher accuracy, and more stable trajectories, so your stylus behaves like a favorite pencil: predictable, nuanced, and responsive.
Highlights you’ll feel immediately:
- Finer pressure ramping for hairlines and slow curves
- Reduced jitter when drawing diagonals or slow strokes
- Improved tap/press recognition for confident inking and masking
- Consistent tilt for shading and calligraphic dynamics

Screen Tablet vs. Stylus Tablet vs. Standalone: Which Is Right for You?
- Screen Tablets (Pen Displays) like Artist Pro 16/19/24 let you draw directly on the screen, which feels more natural for inking, painting, and sculpting. You’ll need a computer (Windows/macOS) but gain desktop-class horsepower and your full app library (Photoshop, Clip Studio, Blender, After Effects).
- Stylus Tablets (No Screen) like Deco keep costs down and ergonomics up. You draw on the tablet while viewing your monitor, which many retouchers and animators prefer. They’re lightweight, rugged, and great for backpack workflows.
- Standalone Tablets like Magic Drawing Pad run solo—no PC—so you can sketch anywhere and later handoff files. They’re ideal for mobility, ideation, and client sessions. For heavy renders or complex comps, you’ll still finish on a desktop, but you can do 80% of the creative work on the go.
Color, Accuracy & Ergonomics: The Hidden Differentiators
- Fully Laminated Screens (Artist Pro Gen 2 line, Magic Drawing Pad) reduce parallax, so your pen tip and cursor align closely—crucial for tight line art.
- Calman Verified (Artist Pro 19 Gen 2) signals serious color management. If you deliver to print or broadcast, accurate color out of the box saves time.
- X-edge Wrist Rest eases strain over long drawing or rotoscoping sessions.
- 16:10 Aspect Ratio (Artist Pro 16 Gen 2) offers extra vertical space, great for reference panes and full-height pages.
