A Word on Nibs

A Few people on twitter have been asking about “nibs”. These are the little tips you can replace in the pen. The great thing about the Intuos 4, is that the base is a nib holder, and contains many options. Ten replacement nibs (five standard nibs, one flex nib, one stroke nib, and three hard felt nibs). Wacom has provided a relatively cheesy video on their site to explain this. Click on “See the Video” on the top. .

Mom also tells us where Barbie and Ken come from, and that she was called Barbie as a child. Something I never knew until now.
