So I used that and it worked perfectly, as did emailing files to myself. The Inkspace app includes free cloud space for up to 5GB of content ad you can get more space with a paid Inkspace Plus subscription. Your device (iOS or Android) then syncs with the Slate via Bluetooth, sending the what you create on paper as a 1748 x 2551 pixel JPG or PNG, or PDF, or Wacom’s own WILL format, to the cloud. SetupĪfter downloading the required (free) Inkspace app from the app store, I paired my fully-charged Bamboo Slate with my iPhone 6s. (There is also the even-more-deluxe Bamboo Folio that protects your paper with a fold-over cover.) I received and tested the Large Slate. The Bamboo Slate is available in two sizes: The Small Slate ($110 half-letter or size A4) and the Large Slate (letter or size A5). The Bamboo Slate consists of a patented electromagnetic resonance sensor sheathed inside a grey fabric and vinyl covered notepad base, along with a ballpoint-type pen, and a perforated notepad made of real paper! It also came with an extra pen refill, a refill remover tool, and a microUSB cable for charging via the built-in microUSB port. Paper, pen, brush, and instant digitization? Say what?! Thrilled, I dug right in. She sent me a Wacom Bamboo Slate Smart pad to review. My GeekGirlfriend, though, thought she could solve this with tech that understands this need for the tactile. Sadly, it lacked the tactile feel of pen on paper that is an essential part of the process for me. My talented photographer pal (and fellow Canadian) Benjamin Von Wongand I were chatting about this problem and he suggested I use a paintbrush stylus with my phone to make sketches in the field. But neither is getting back to my studio with a suitcase full of sketches, value renderings, composition layouts, and written notes to scan. I work in the field on location almost exclusively, and lugging a flatbed scanner with me on a dive boat in Fiji is not ideal. And it leaves me with the problem of how to get my drawings, notes, and ideas onto my computer for sharing or further digital development. So I when I make notes and drawing studies I prefer real ink and paper to a stylus on a tablet.
