XPPen has officially launched the Artist Ultra 16, a groundbreaking pen display that merges a 4K OLED screen, the new X-Touch control solution, and 16K pressure sensitivity into one portable creative tool. Announced shortly after the company’s 20th anniversary, this flagship device raises the bar for professional digital art equipment while delivering flexibility for both studio and mobile use.
Next-Level Touch Interaction
The highlight of the Artist Ultra 16 is its X-Touch system, designed to give artists unmatched creative freedom. Supporting 10-finger multi-touch input on both Windows and macOS, it lets users sketch, pan, zoom, and navigate with intuitive gestures. Customizable touch zones allow artists to define their own workspace, minimizing accidental touches while maintaining fluid workflows. A floating menu with adjustable shortcuts further streamlines tasks, blending natural hand movements with professional efficiency.
4K OLED Visual Excellence
At the core of this device is a 15.6-inch 4K OLED display that redefines image quality. Backed by AMOLED technology, it delivers lifelike clarity, 100,000:1 contrast ratio, and a blazing 1ms response time. Calman certification ensures industrial-grade accuracy, with 10-bit color depth and wide gamut coverage of 99% Adobe RGB, 99% sRGB, and 98% Display P3. This makes the Artist Ultra 16 a trusted choice for illustrators, animators, and retouchers who demand supreme color fidelity.
Stylus Precision with 16K Sensitivity
Complementing the display are the X3 Pro Smart Chip Stylus and the X3 Pro Slim Stylus, both offering 16K pressure levels and 60° tilt recognition. This ensures strokes feel as natural as pen on paper, enabling ultra-precise detailing. With ergonomic shortcut keys, a silent fanless design, and optional accessories like the ACK05 Bluetooth keyboard, the device supports long creative sessions without distractions.
Design and Portability Awarded
The Artist Ultra 16 has been recognized with the Red Dot Award 2025 for its outstanding design. Featuring an aluminum chassis, slim form factor, and bezel-free body, it balances durability with portability. The integrated palm rest and shortcut keys improve ergonomics, while its lightweight design fits easily into a commuter bag. Whether in a professional studio or on-the-go, it delivers consistent, high-performance results.
With availability starting September 26, 2025, at a global price of $899.99, the Artist Ultra 16 underscores XPPen’s commitment to making professional-grade creativity accessible worldwide. Regional pricing may vary.
