Changing Wacom Pen Nibs.

Hi, today I want to show you how I go on and change my Wacom Pen Nib.
Ok so this is not really necessarily one of the most amazing tips but it is actually one of the most asked about.
The Nip of the pen for the wacom tablet can in fact wear out because of the texture on the surface of the tablet as it’s designed that way.
Therefor, over time what you need to do is to watch that nib and as it wears down, you’ll need to replace it.
So, actually, Walcom actually includes this here in the pen stand not just 10 additional nibs but also a nib puller, and it’s this ring right in the center.
And this ring, which I had no clue what it was for, might be decoration lol, before, has a little cut in it if you notice. That’s actually designed to grab the nib and literally pull it straight out.
As a photo retoucher, you’re not gonna wear out these nibs that
fast as a sketch artist obviously. To be honest, it’s better to wear out the nib than the surface of the tablet. So if you sharpen the nib, it can scratch the surface; even though that surface is replaceable. You just need to call wacom customer care and order a replacement surface.
Among the ten additional nibs, my favorite ones are these three of slightly darker grey nibs. These feel a lot like felt on paper.
And the way you put it in is simple, I normally just blow into that pen tip, then tap it and press the nib in and you’re done.
Hopefully this tip helps you sort out your problem. Take care. Keep Smiling.

Thank you so much, you are a lifesaver. I went to the Wacom site and it told me to pull the pen apart and I saw all of its workings and freaked out!. Nib easily and successfully changed with your video, thank you so much. Hopefully, my pen will still work after what I put it through before watching your video.

@WarrinerAnimations 2 года назад

@mikuhatsunegoshujin 2 года назад

Would putting paper on top of the tablet wear out the nib more but prevents wear and tear on the tablet? what intermediary surface should I use to prevent the tablet getting scratches while prolonging the longevity (or keeping it nearly the same) of the nibs?

@animationdiaries5130 5 лет назад

Are the grey ones harder? I have an old tablet and pen that I have been using for 11 years without needing to change the nib but with my new intuos I have to change the nib every week.

The nib is really long and at first I thought that you can use it until it comes to a lenght of 1cm or half an inch. But since it is the first time I use a pen tablet I am not sure. I feel like when the thicker part of the nib wears out you should replace the nib. Is that right?

@trucnguyen882 7 лет назад

are there more color options for the nib? how is it different from the black nib and the gray one? just curious

@vanessad.graphicdesigner7837 7 лет назад

The black ones are the standard ones, they are a bit of an all-rounder and they wear the best out of the range of the Wacom nibs. In the mean time, the grey felt nibs give you the feel of pen on paper with resistance and some grip. I hope it will help you answering your curiosity
