The Graphire TabletIn addition to the professional-level Intuous3, Wacom offers the 6x8 Graphire tablet. Although it has a few less features and less levels of pressure sensitivity (512), it is a less expensive option. The 6x8 Graphire sells for almost $100 less than the 6x8 Intuous3 and is Bluetooth enabled. Whether you are starting out with the Graphire or investing in one of the larger Intuous3 tablets, Wacoms products are excellent tools for graphic designers looking for more control in their work.
