5.0 out of 5 starsGiving This Table a BUY!
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2016
I am glad I purchased this brand of light table as it's of excellent quality and easy to use once I got the hang of the variable light settings which are made through the on/off button. It was a little heavier than expected but is extremely portable and solid. I have found it perfectly capable of being bright enough to penetrate all of the art papers I've placed on top of it so far, watercolor in particular, and my primary intended use was for copying or enlarging existing images for reproduction and incorporation into other pieces of artwork. I could do this as easily with my Wacom Cintiq, but this type of tablet gets quite warm, uses a good deal of energy, and is expensive for this purpose. Using a light table such as this will free me from my desk to work more easily and save wear and tear on this pricey product! Ruler markings on the edges of the table are a handy inclusion.
I purchased a second clip for this table not knowing it came with one, but that's okay, it never hurts to have a spare. I will not be reviewing it separately as I will cover that here. It's not like a binder clip at all but slides on the edge of the table and has a protective strip so as not to scratch the plastic. You need to slide paper underneath the clip and I do not believe you can place thick or several pieces of paper under it easily. This is where a separate clip might come in handy. I have also purchased large binder clips which I've modified with thin self-adhesive felt along the contact inside edge to protect the table. This will allow me to combine and compose more than one piece of art into one.
The reason I went with this particular company is that I know they make quality digital art tablets for compositing which rival Wacom at an affordable price point! It's because of the research I did on other products by Huion that I felt confident in this purchase. It gets great review ratings as does this light table, and with good reason... it's deserved. I'm giving it a thumbs up and recommend it to anyone looking for a nicely made product of this nature. You may spend a little more for it, but remember that the cheap often reveals itself to be expensive in the long run. Keep up the great work Huion, I can see your company is working to offer quality at reasonable pricing which helps the home artist, and this touches my heart in a very good way.
