Why we love pens?

    Uses for digital stationery

    Digital Handwriting

    Lots of people might think of writing by hand as something uncomofortable and outdated. In many cases, though, using digital stationery is easier and more intuitive than inputting with keyboards, mouses, or touchscreens. After all, writing on paper with pens and pencils is familiar to everyone from childhood, and even a digital world, handwriting still has a role in communicating the truth of a moment, going beyond the actual words written. That is why Wacom is committed to digital stationery.

    Three reasons why handwriting is making a comeback

    From workplaces to schools, from public spaces to homes, computers, tablets, and smartphones are everywhere. Until recently, the theory has been that, the more we use keyboards, pointing devices, and touch UIs, the less we will write by hand. Yet now, the benefits of handwriting are being reassessed: many are finding that pens allow them to write more flexibly, accurately, and quickly. Combining the virtues of analog with the functionality of digital, Wacom’s unique pens fit your hand - and your life - perfectly.

    They're quick

    Want to note something that's just come into your head? Handwriting is always the quickest and easiest way to do it. Flashes of inspiration, notes to colleagues or family members, annotations on something you're reading: all you need to do is pick up a pen and start writing.

    They're rich

    Handwriting conveys the feelings of people writing and the circumstances in which they wrote. A hastily-scribbled note shows that someone was in a hurry; a letter in a careful hand shows consideration. Text from a pen is a mirror which reflects a rich breadth of emotion and context in a way digital characters never can.

    They're smart

    Moving your own hand to write or draw is a simple motion which clears the mind, helping you to organize your thoughts and commit what you are writing to memory. Simply, something noted by hand sticks in your head, and so pens are the ultimate aide mémoire.

    Use Cases of digital stationery

    Wacom’s digital pens are compatible with numerous creative software solutions and accurate enough to capture and render even the smallest of movements. With this responsive functionality, Wacom digital stationery is unique in the way it makes businesses more efficient, classrooms more advanced, and people happier.

    Business  digital stationery

    Rapid and effective communication is key to business success. And although a keyboard and a mouse are enough to write words or draw lines, sometimes, true communication works better with a pen.

    Even in this age when writing by hand tends to be regarded as a bit of a hassle, in many cases, Wacom’s digital pen solutions actually accelerate business communication. By taking full advantage of their functions, users can prepare, facilitate, and share information for meetings faster and smarter.

    Education digital stationery

    In line with the adoption of information and communication technologies in various fields, education is becoming increasingly digital; in schools and adult education, ICT now goes beyond the simple use of computers and tablets as it spreads across the curriculum.

    Writing letters and numbers in our own hand means using our brain, coming up with answers, and remembering them. Without changing the traditional learning style of handwriting, Wacom’s digital stationery allows education to take account of the twin importance of digital inputting and handwriting, offering a unique synthesis of analog usability and digital convenience to create educational environments which support every student individually.

    Cross-media

    Digital pens and tablets are popular with artists and creators worldwide, and Wacom has developed high-performance pen tips and screens which dock into analog stationery, making creative ways of working more satisfying and convenient than ever before. Wacom’s technologies and development capabilities expand what stationery can do.

    Joy of writing

    "Digital writing" may sound mechanical and lifeless, but Wacom’s solutions provide the natural feel and fine precision of writing by hand on paper. Carefully selected pen tip materials, signal noize reduction, and writing pressure detection technologies make Wacom's products the equal of analog stationery. This is what we call the “Wacom feel”—an on-paper feel that, with our more than 30 years of experience, only Wacom can provide.

    On paper or on a display: write wherever you want

    Wacom offers various digital pens such as battery-less EMR pens, AES pens with built-in batteries, and inking pens with real ink. Our pens are also compatible with various canvases, from screens on computers and tablets to conventional paper products such as notebooks and report pads, and you can digitize anything you’ve written. Wacom offers stationery digitalization without losing the benefits and the feel of writing on paper provided by analog products.

    Design consistency

    Pencils, ballpoint pens, mechanical pencils, fountain pens: Wacom’s digital pen technologies allow stationery producers to digitize existing writing implements without changing their designs. So now, popular products can evolve from analog to digital, delighting customers who want to take their favorite pen or pencil with them into the digital world.

    Anywhere, any device

    Wacom is active in the Universal Pen Framework (UPF) initiative to help tranlsate the key advantage of conventional stationery—i.e. that it can be used to write on any paper at any time—into digital stationery. By cooperating with a variety of partners and providing broad access to our digital pen technologies, we at Wacom are working towards a world where a writing tool compatible with any device can readily be bought at convenience stores and brand shops alike. We are committed to expanding this engagement further in the future.
