This is all Windows and has NOTHING to do with Apple devices. Here is my process for making the device work. This negates the argument of “not powerful enough” or “non-standard pen tablets so you need to just give up!” I have been able to make Toon Boom products run and run well on even the most wimpy of processors with integrated graphics, using a variety of pen input devices from Wacom, N-trig, Microsoft, and even unidentified vendors creating generic tablets. The program is targeted to Wacom tablets (especially Cintiqs) on high powered PC’s. Every machine is different and Toon Boom simply does not have the manpower to test every machine. Finding the solution to your pen problems is really hard and time consuming. Even Wacom devices now include a bunch of different driver needs.

Every device has drivers that are a bit different. The harsh truth: Windows Pen standards are a mess. If you’re using a Wacom device, it must be some odd standard.Your video card is not powerful enough.Here is what I’ve learned:įirst: Do not listen to the stock advice often given: Troubleshooting these problems can also make you insane and take a long time. It can be bad enough to make you toss your machine in the trash. There may be tremendous lag in seeing a drawn line. When it works, the ink may flow from the wrong spot on the screen. Sometimes the pens can work outside the program, but refuse to function at all in the Toon Boom program. The pen and ink problems cover a huge range of problems. This includes anything from desktop workstations hooked to Wacom Cintiqs down to low powered laptops with pen enabled screens.

However, be assured you can make Toon Boom work on a variety of Windows machines and devices. By saying “a long time,” I’m talking about more than a decade. Pen issues have plagued Toon Boom products for a long time.
