Hello,
I would like to buy a graphic tablet, specifically the TRUST Wireless Scroll Tablet TB-4200
which seems to be a good price/quality compromise (according to reviews). However, as I am not very knowledgeable about this, I would like to know if it is possible to trace a document with this graphic tablet? And I would like to know the resolution in dpi?
Also, I would like to know if it is possible to take handwritten notes in Word with a graphic tablet.
Thank you in advance.

Hi guys, I bought this tablet not long ago...
I would say it depends on what you want to do with it; if it's to get familiar with this kind of device, it's excellent, but if it's for "professional" use, you'd better buy a Wacom Intuos (or equivalent), even in A5 size, knowing that it's preferable to prioritize precision over size.
It's not that the Trust TB 4200 doesn't work well, no, but it does lack a bit of precision for me, who has been drawing by hand for over ten years and is used to using a pen, pencil, and Rotring (and I must say I'm not really used to drawing on a screen yet; it's a bit disorienting).
I have to admit I've heard a lot of bad things about this beast, but people can be mean...
As a user, I'm quite happy nonetheless, especially since the A4 size is quite practical, particularly for coloring; it avoids having to move back and forth to the screen like a crazy person. And even though it's not the most precise on the market, it's still a good investment (the price/quality ratio is hard to beat, to be honest, and the precision is still decent). The only thing I regret compared to Wacom is that there isn't an "eraser" on the other side of the pen; well, if that's all...
Summary: excellent for beginners and those like me who will mostly do coloring with it but insufficient for professional artists who would use it for raw drawing on the computer.
There you go, I hope I was able to help you with your choice and that Santa Claus brings the right tablet for your needs ;)

For the eraser, as a Linux user, I see on MyPaint that the eraser is present just like in all graphic software.
hello hello,
I bought a Trust TB4200 tablet today at a flea market. So it's used
I plugged it in and installed the drivers.
Everything went well, the hardware is recognized, etc.
Except that, I didn't understand if I need to put a battery in the stylus: when I open the stylus, there doesn't seem to be any space for a AAA remote control type battery. But this cap is still mysterious and quite heavy as if there was already a battery inside or I don't know what.
I put a battery in the mouse, and it works, but the stylus doesn't even move my pointer, nothing happens when I place the stylus over the tablet.
Tell me! Do you really need to put a battery in the stylus then? Or not? It must be a special battery, right?
I also noticed that in the configuration menu of the quick launch bar, there is an option that is not very clear, to configure the stylus, (not very clear because the French text is too large for the window which must have been adjusted to the size of the English text) the text says something like: "place the stylus on the tablet" "search" or I don't know what because we can't read any further from there.
Well, I'm getting confused here....
All this to say that: If someone can tell me if I need to put a battery in the TB4200 stylus, where do I put it?
Thanks in advance

P.S. : sorry for also asking this question in a separate topic, but then I thought that the people following this forum would reply to my problem right away

I would like to know if we can configure the functions at the top of the tablet to zoom in, for example, in Photoshop..
Thank you.
Thank you.
Hello,
I just bought this graphics tablet, and I must say that for the price, I am very happy with it.
Furthermore, I am on Mac, and I just found the drivers (it is compatible with Win 98, XP, Vista... and MAC).
For those looking for the MAC drivers, I have uploaded them here

I got this tablet for Christmas.. I draw from time to time and it was an opportunity to try drawing on a tablet. Since I don't know anything about Wacom, I would just say that as a beginner, the Trust suits me perfectly (plus it's cheap)!
It's beginner's work but I've been doing a few drawings with it recently and it reignites my passion for drawing :)

If possible, I would recommend testing them before buying.. It's sometimes possible (I did it at Surcouf with some models). But when it's your first time, you don't feel comfortable (personally at least, but afterward it comes naturally)

Hello!
I'm looking for information regarding the use of the TRUST Wireless Scroll Tablet TB-4200.
I would like to know if it is possible to use it as a notebook. That is to say, imagine arriving in class with the laptop in the bag and the USB thing (it's wireless, right?), placing the tablet screen on the table and starting to write (with the laptop in the closed bag), and then retrieving the notes in JPG or DOC format on the PC later in the evening?
Thank you for your responses.

I have exactly the same questions! Especially about descaling... Given that it would be my first tablet, I hope to make a good choice.
Thank you, Sergeant Pepere, for your little summary. It helps me a lot in making my choice. I think I'm going to buy it knowing the use I'm going to make of it. Thanks again. Have a good day.

Problem, I don't feel like it's compatible with VISTA? Am I wrong? Has anyone tested it under Vista?
Yes, it's compatible with Vista. I know someone in my class who uses it (he doesn't draw much, but he writes with it when he's on MSN...), he seems pretty happy, and he's also tested it in GIMP
I'm also thinking of getting a tablet, but I would lean more towards a Wacom Graphire A6 (I only draw with my wrist, I'm lazy), well, I would have preferred an Intuos 3 (mentioned above) but given the price...!! Anyway, enough about me, all this to say that "yes, it's compatible with Vista"
there you go, I don't know more, but I hope it has helped at least one person..
PS: yes, there's an "h" in my username

Hello everyone, I received the Trust Wireless Scroll tablet for Christmas, but when I use it on Photofiltre to draw something, the stylus does whatever it wants. For example, when I want to draw a face, I place the stylus in the middle of the tablet and it appears in the top right corner of the screen. It zooms in by itself, so I can't manage to draw. Is this normal? Do I need to get used to it, or should I change something?
Please help me!^^
P.S.: I'm not strong in this field
Thank you for your help.

Thank you plumachau for the response,
So, I'm going to sound completely clueless but where do we put this battery?? It seems logical to think it's in the cap part, but I don't see any opening!
Oh, actually looking more closely, apparently it's a metal piece from the other part that got stuck in the cap and is now blocking a battery that's already inside. Wow, this stylus seems incredibly fragile. This little metal cylinder looks impossible to unjam...
Well, thanks anyway

Hello,
You just need to unscrew the top part of the stylus, and then the top half of the stylus opens.
Just check if there is a battery, and change it if it's dead.
But to make it easier, here’s a photo of my "open" stylus, with the battery visible.

Waaa, thanks for the super quick reply and the photo.
In fact, my stylus isn't like that; it opens in the middle, width-wise, not length-wise like yours.
So I guess you place the battery in the tube of the cap and screw it all back together. But in my case, it seems like a part of the stylus has come off and got stuck in the cap, really stuck.
Oh! No, wait, I managed to solve it; in fact, it was the threading itself that had come off the stylus part and was screwed into the cap, holding the battery in place.
Plus, apparently the previous owner had put some glue in there, and as a result, the battery wasn't making contact.
Well, all's well that ends well, then.
Thanks for the replies!

Hello, I'm posting my problem here hoping someone will respond!
So I recently got a Trust TB-7300 tablet, and I'm doing coloring with the software the gimp, but since I've had this tablet, I can't adjust the pressure. To be clearer: when I use the brush in GIMP, it draws solid black like with the mouse... no opacity, no pressure, NOTHING—it's just blobs, YOU KNOW ^^.
I only managed to activate what I call "opacity" once, I DON'T KNOW HOW, and when I restarted my computer, it stopped working... How do you do it?
