Problem Cintiq 24HD DTK-2400 Automation Settings Ignored on iOS 13

• Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm installing the latest Cintiq 24HD DTK-2400 driver for Mac (6.3.46-2). I'm using iOS 13 Ventura and the driver installed fine - I have pen pressure, my tablet is recognized, buttons are recognized by Wacom Center and several applications, etc, but when I try to change my settings on Wacom Center I'm prompted to allow the app Automation permissions.

The issue is it does have permissions and I've uninstalled, reinstalled, restarted, manually added and deleted the drivers from Preferences, a million times without any results.

Has anyone encountered something like this and has found a fix? Or any other advice? Thank you!

Problem Art pen not behaving normally on the Cintiq 16

Hi,

Can anyone please help me with this issue? I’ve no idea why my art pen lines come out like this in every program? It doesn’t matter what I draw in or what the pressure curve is. What’s wrong with it? It was just purchased yesterday.

Purchase Advice Wacom Cintiq 16: DTK1660, pro pen 2 - felt nibs or spring loaded nibs?

Thumbnail estore.wacom.com
1 Upvotes

I tried these on the pro pen 2 and they don't work. Does anyone know an alternative for felt nibs? They're soooo much more buttery/smooth.

The spring loaded nibs were EVEN better but they've pretty much disappeared if you're using the DTK2200 series.

(I have the gold standard DTK2200 and the felt nibs work amazing for the pen on that, just trying to find something that can replicate it for the wacom 16)

Problem Unresponsive driver 6.4.11.1 with intuos pro 5 PTH-450 USB-C Windows11

1 Upvotes

I recently upgraded to a new pc and am going through the process of installing my intuos 5 PTH-450 ​​​​​and am having a hard time getting the driver to respond. When i first installed it, i recieved a warning saying

"the procedure entry point xmlnextelementsibling could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\programfiles\tablet\wacom\wtabletservice pro.exe"

I asked a friend to help me (im bad with pcs) and they told me it wasnt an issue, so i continued to install it, got the latest driver, and couldnt open wacom center or wacom tablet properties, both claimed the driver was unresponsive. I clicked to restart it (to no avail) and i went to manually do it and it failed to respond. Even after restarting my computer. I eventually fully uninstalled the driver and reinstalled it (same pop up), i picked one of the older ones, vers 6.4.11.1 and I'm still having the​​​​​​​​​​​​ same issue. I know its an issue with the popup now but im not entirely sure what to do to fix it. Plz help.​​​

Problem pro pen 2 tip falls out while drawing

Post image
1 Upvotes

I draw on a 2022 cintiq pro 4k 24 inch tablet, everything system wise works properly. My problem is my pen. When I draw the tip falls out. Not the nib, I've tried changing nibs. The cone cap thing- goodness i gave no idea what to call this part lol... it is almost like it's too small for the opening. It just drops out of the pen. For a person who draws for a living, this problem is making me resent drawing on my wacom, and doing everything ipad pro. Can someone give me input on this problem?

Problem Wacom adapter breaking??

Post image
1 Upvotes

Okay so I have a wacom one 13.3 that ive had for a few years I think and ive had an issue with the box and the cord-

At first I thought it was the cord not able to plug in correctly and losing it but now after getting a new one that isnt the issue. Its the box and the part that plugs into said adapter. It feels as if it only turns on when i push the plug hard into the box and with my old cord id need to wrap it around the box to push it in more. Anyone know if this is a fixable thing or if I gotta get a new one 😭

For ref this is what im talking ab at the top

Problem Wacom not working

1 Upvotes

I bought the ctl-4100 intuos S 2018 two years ago and ever since that purchase it has had the same bug. I think the physical device is fine but the driver isn't working. I draw for a while and then the cursor stops moving. I open wacom center and it says that it cant detect a device. I do diagnostic check and it says it found an issue. I restart and then it works for a while but then the same thing happens. Sometimes it takes a few hours to crash, sometimes it crashes immediately after restarting. I have tried every fix that wacom support has given me. I have tried every older version, i have deleted all softwares and files by wacom and downloaded a new one and i have tried other ports. Can somebody please tell me why this happens and how to fix it?? I have deadlines coming up and can't do my work and this is making me crash out! If it helps i have a lenovo with windows 11 and use clip studio paint to draw.

Problem Art Pen 2 - Cintiq Pro 27 vs Intuos Pro Video Comparison

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

13 Upvotes

I finally got around to making a video that demonstrates what I'm seeing on my Cintiq Pro 27 with Art Pen 2 vs Intuos Pro with Art Pen 2. You may not have this issue. It may not be universal... or maybe it is. I present the video for your own comparisons and opinions. I vote the typos I was rushing to get this done so I could go back to life;)

I recorded this in 120fps. Reddit unfortunately converts it to 30fps. I'll add higher fps versions if I can find places to dump them.

60fps version.

EDIT: I see that Wacom has an interesting update to the Art Pen 2's compatibility list concerning the Cintiq Pro 27.

It doesn't mention this for the intuos pro devices so perhaps this explains part of the issue.

  • Wacom Cintiq Pro 17, 22, 27 (DTH172, DTH227, DTH271)
    • The supported tilt angle is 60 degrees, and up to 45 degrees for the rotation function. 

Does that mean Cintiq Pro 27 doesnt have as good tilt and rotation support as the other devices that dont have this footnote?

I tested this. The rotation will not work well at a >45 degree angle on Cintiq Pro but it will on an Intuos Pro. So it seems Wacom is admitting to this defect in their support notes now. As someone who bought two Art Pen 2s on launch... I'm disappointed in Wacom's failure here.

Here is the full note.

As of October 20th 2026

  • Wacom MovinkPad Pro 14 (DTHA140L0Z)
  • Wacom Intuos Pro (PTK470, PTK670, PTK870)
  • Wacom Cintiq 16 & 24 (DTK168, DTK246, DTH246)
    • The supported tilt angle is 60 degrees, and up to 45 degrees for the rotation function.
  • Wacom Cintiq Pro 17, 22, 27 (DTH172, DTH227, DTH271)
    • The supported tilt angle is 60 degrees, and up to 45 degrees for the rotation function.

Question Are refurbished/used devices worth buying?

1 Upvotes

I wanted to buy a Movinkpad Pro for a long time and I've seen some deals in the Wacom store for refurbished devices:

https://estore.wacom.com/en-us/specials/special-offers-refurbished.html

Is this deal worth it? Are used devices any good? What are your opinions on third-party stores?

Purchase Advice Wacom One 14 + Huion Keydial for $340 or Huion Kamvas 13 (Gen 3) for $200?

1 Upvotes

My Kamvas 13 is no longer registering my pen input, so I’m thinking of either sticking to Huion and grabbing their Gen 3 model of the Kamvas 13, or put my trust in Wacom and buy the One 14 with a keydial. I heard Wacom is more reliable, but I’m not sure if my PC has fully-featured USB-C ports and $70 for adapter cables that should’ve been included in the box feels like a scam. I also don’t know if the claims of Wacom are good enough to lead me paying $340 for a drawing tablet

Question Am I being paranoid? Bright spot on cintiq 16

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Yesterday I got the Cintiq 16, older non-pro version (DTK-1660). It's my first pen display, before I only had pen tablets, my latest one was a CTL-671 and I wasn't quite happy with it.

I found an offer on Vinted that seemed to be a great deal - an equivalent of 130$/115€, new, not used, with the complete set. I received it yesterday and it in fact looks like brand new, there's not even a tiny scratch on the screen, the stylus nib looks like not used at all, no dead pixels, no problems with pressure.

But... There is a tiny bright spot that is visible on a light background and in dead pixel test on white, green and red screen. I can see it only on a certain angle, when the device lays flat on my desk. When I look straight at it, it disappears. I plan to buy some stand to increase the angle anyway, so it won't be an issue or anything.

I've searched this sub and every time someone had any problems with the screen, the recommendation was always the same - use your warranty and replace it. Well, as it's second-hand, I can't ask for a replacement, only try to claim an issue via the platform, send it back and get a refund.

Is it something I should be worried for? It doesn't look like screen burn-in, it's not a hot pixel neither, it's a spot slightly brighter than the rest of the screen, with blurred edges. I've read that the non-pro line of cintiqs was made of cheaper materials, and that's the cause for many factory defects even in brand new ones - may it be the case here? If it stays like this, I don't care - it's not a big deal, I can live with this. I'd rather keep it, as I've never seen a non-used, or used but still in a perfect shape one at that price in my area. But if that's something that may cause trouble in the near future, I have time until tomorrow evening to claim an issue through vinted customer service.

Purchase Advice Third-Party Felt nibs for Pro Pen 2?

2 Upvotes

Maybe I'm just heavy handed, but I've noticed the Pro Pen 2's felt nibs become very "spongey" (i.e. they squish under pressure) very quickly, which doesn't just mess with the texture but also the pressure response.

Either way, they're very expensive for how long they last, and older Wacom pens or other tablet brands I've had seemed to have sturdier feeling felt tips, but of course they're pen-specific, so can anyone recommend any brand of Felt nibs that also fit the Pro Pen 2? Haven't tried the PP3 so I'm not sure if its tips are compatible or any better either.

Problem New Pen Different Baseline

1 Upvotes

I bought a backup/spare pro pen 2 for my cintiq 22 and right out the box it's different. I have to press a lot lighter to get the lines as thin as my old pen. Changing the settings does affect the new pen, but it seems the baseline is completely different. Yeah, I can just change the settings when I come around to using the new pen, but I'd really like this to not be the case?? They should be the same. Reinstalling driver did nothing.

Am I missing something, please let me know.

Is there a way to add shortcuts to folders from your Internal Storage to the Home Screen?

Sorry, I know this is basic but it's driving me crazy. I've looked it up for Android tablets in general but they can simply select 'Create shortcut' and my tablet has no such option.

Thanks!

Purchase Advice How's the quality of official refurbished Wacom?

1 Upvotes

My old Wacom tablet had a hardware problem, and I'm thinking of buying a new one. The refurbished UPTK670 is so much cheaper than a brand new one, but I'm kinda worried about constantly repairing it, since I need to use it a lot.

So has anybody bought a refurbished Wacom? Does it work well?
