3. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install the overlay sheet onto your Wacom Intuos Pro Medium tablet.
- Prepare Your Tablet: Ensure your Wacom Intuos Pro Medium tablet is clean and free of dust or debris. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the active surface.
- Remove Existing Overlay (if applicable): If you are replacing an old overlay sheet, carefully peel it off from one corner. Dispose of the old sheet responsibly.
- Align the New Overlay: Carefully align the new overlay sheet with the active area of your tablet. Pay attention to the corner tabs or alignment marks on the sheet and the tablet.
- Secure the Overlay: Starting from one edge, gently press the overlay sheet onto the tablet surface, working your way across to avoid air bubbles. Ensure all edges are securely attached. The sheet is designed to adhere without permanent adhesive, allowing for easy replacement.
- Test Functionality: After installation, power on your tablet and test with your Wacom Pen to ensure proper functionality and responsiveness across the entire active area.
Note: Avoid creasing or bending the overlay sheet during installation, as this may affect its performance and lifespan.
4. Operating Instructions
The overlay sheet functions as the primary drawing surface for your Wacom Intuos Pro Medium tablet. Its texture is designed to provide a natural pen-on-paper feel, enhancing your digital creative workflow.
- Pen Usage: Use your Wacom Pen directly on the overlay sheet. The sheet's texture will provide resistance similar to traditional media.
- Pressure Sensitivity: The overlay sheet does not interfere with the tablet's pressure sensitivity. Your pen strokes will register with the same precision and nuance as without the sheet.
- Surface Protection: The overlay sheet acts as a sacrificial layer, protecting the original tablet surface from scratches and wear caused by prolonged pen use.
Regular use of the overlay sheet may lead to gradual wear, which is normal. Replace the sheet when you notice significant changes in texture or visible wear marks that affect your drawing experience.
5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your overlay sheet.
- Cleaning: To clean the overlay sheet, gently wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the surface.
- Storage: If removing the sheet for storage, keep it flat and protected from dust and extreme temperatures.
- Replacement: The overlay sheet is a consumable item. Replace it when its texture wears down, or if it becomes damaged, to maintain optimal drawing feel and tablet protection. Replacement sheets can be purchased from authorized Wacom retailers.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your overlay sheet, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Overlay sheet not adhering properly. | Dust or debris on tablet surface; improper installation. | Remove the sheet, clean the tablet surface thoroughly, and re-install carefully, ensuring proper alignment and pressing out air bubbles. |
| Reduced pen sensitivity or uneven response. | Air bubbles under the sheet; sheet not fully flat; excessive wear. | Check for and smooth out any air bubbles. If the sheet is old or heavily worn, consider replacing it. Ensure the sheet is correctly aligned. |
