Digital BW, The Print

The graphire is fine and dandy to use, but I imagine you get what you pay
for (re: intuos). They are pretty cheap, so might do for an introductory
tablet, to see how much one would be used (before splashing out on the best
one). I don't use mine all the time, but its really handy for free-handy
type things, where precision isn't an absolute necessity (It isn't a
draftsmans tool, put it that way), and as with any tablet, the pressure
sensitivity is very liberating. Is the intuos one that can detect the pen
angle? the graphire can't, and thats something I'd really like (pressure =
ink opacity, angle = brush sharpness/size would be ideal). The mouse that
comes with it really is terrible. The pen is fine, but I find I sometimes
end up pressing the button on the barrel when I'm using it. The best bit?
The way it switches to the eraser tool when you use the other end of the
pen. Maybe I'm easily pleased...
