Anyone else having offset problems with ipen ? I draw the line and it's above or to the side of where I want it? I emailed BP but maybe I am doing something wrong , I do the orient page

Recalibrate
Make shure you rotate your iPad in the position you will be using it. I mainly use my ipen for smaller details.

Thxs I will try that

Here are directions Iggycrypt posted with my photo of the open:
Wendy, do you use it with the reader thing on the top. Try that. It seems to get a better reading. Also when you calibrate it try holding the pen how you would normally write. Don't calibrate with pen straight up. My guess is the point of the pen is just to turn it on and off when you push down. The sensor is above the point and that tells where the tip should be. If you draw and change you hand position the calibration gets a little weird. The tip will be in the same spot but the sensor has moved giving it a different location to make the make. I don't know if this makes sense or not. So my recommendation would be to calibrate with a natural hand position and keep your hand as closets that as possible. Ipen works for me but i also keep my hand in the same position so I don't have a problem. I'm guessing that is why a lot of people are having problems with it. Sorry I can't write goodly. Or is or welling? Oh well.

I had passed the pen along so did not try it, I would be interested to know if it helps.

Open=ipen

Try drawing with the dongle at the top. When you calibrate make sure you keep the pen in the position you normally draw in. Don't calibrate it with the pen straight up and Down ( unless that is how you draw). Doing this improved my accuracy.

Oh thanks I will try it

Here are my impressions of the iPen.

Stuff I don't like:

First of all, the 'palm rejection' doesn't work at all. Resting your hand on the screen results in random lines and/or zoom commands and whatnot. Ignore that suppposed feature, it's just hype.

The calibration issue is real. I don't really mind having to calibrate when starting up an app, only takes a sec, but the calibration is iffy. Sometimes you get decent accuracy, sometimes you don't. Sketch Club is pretty good at it. Goodnotes is horrible, it never calibrates close enough to use.

Even after calibration, the distance between where you draw and where it appears is variable. It can also drift during use. I didn't find that Iggy's suggestion of drawing with the dongle on top helped. In my case it made it worse. I don't know why

Stuff I like:

You can draw a very nice smooth line, with less shake than you normally get with a finger or stylus.

It doesn't start drawing until you intend, because you have to press down. This is much more like a normal pen, which doesn't draw unless it's touching the paper (unlike a stylus or finger which can draw while hovering).

Bottom line:

It's a niche product. I will probably use it for some line work as needed. It is not good as a general purpose drawing/painting tool.

It needs some updates with the calibration for sure but it's a great idea. Colors on Nintendo (which has a stylus) has a new program on the 3d one the drawings are amazing but no layers is a draw back but they have a stylus

I find calibration in other apps is working better than SC. Palm rejection is not working. Hoping for a fix soon with both or I'm sending back ... I only bought for SC use and will wait for the adonit touch

so this is partly the hardware and partly the app. i think i can do more to improve the calibration. there's a limit to the accuracy of the hardware though. the best i've found for it so far is in Ibis Paint. i'll try and improve the calibration in SC more. 1.13.1 has a toggle for palm rejection and shows a touch ring under the pen hover which can help.
