Has anyone used this light up pad to trace to all shades of material? If so, how did it work? Thanks.

I don't know about all shades but I've traced from some fairly dark/colored pages onto white paper. I am very happy with this product.

I just bought this light box and used it to get the proportions of a sketch I am doing. I was able to trace the lines from the picture onto Stonehenge Multi paper (cream colored paper). The Stonehenge is excellent drawing paper and is 100% cotton 250 gsm. It works wonderfully. I have not tried darker paper yet but it does the job and much more inexpensive than some of the others I have been looking at.

It was very poor when dealing with white paper, so I can only imagine it's worse with other shades or colors, however, I would imagine it has more to do with the thickness of the paper. 20 lb paper is too thick. A thin vellum is the only thing other than tracing paper that worked for me.

No. I think it just HAS to be transparent for best results- use transparency paper instead of tracing paper, that will work fine. :)

Not that I have seen. I am actually typing on a white background, answering this question with sunlight to my left. I have also typed in indoor light with no visual rainbow effect. It works as promised. It does collect fingerprints; yet, when the Kingle fire is on, I do not see them. It also cleans off easily. Hope this answers your question.

The color of the laser doesn't matter, it's cosmetic. The machine is detecting your finger motions through the invisible infra-red laser projected through the bottom window. As long as you don't put it in a super bright environment, it should track your finger motions well. Note that people who insist on fast typing should not buy this product, as it takes some time getting used to, because there is zero tactile feedback.

Just tried it and they work fine. I was able to wipe the marks off with a tissue. However, my pad is clear, so you might have to put a white paper behind the surface to be able to read the markings. My desk is dark and it was hard to read the writing.

It cannot easily scan 35 mm slides, which should be back-lit. You can rig it up, though, as I have. Lay the slide on the platen, put a sheet of white paper over it, then shine a lamp above it. This provides back-lighting that will work. It works for negative strips, too.

My top light went out relatively quick just after using it. ;/ But I do remember a slight blue hue to all the images. I just use a lamp light near the Microscope to take away the blue and replace my missing upper light.

I use my lightbox to trace paper piecing and applique fabrics. You just put the blank paper over the pattern to trace. Photocopying is another alternative if you can adjust the machine so the size is exactly reproduced--I've had trouble with that but find tracing relaxing.

The light levels are adjustable by default on the velocity level of the particular pad. Therefore, if I hit a bright then dark green pad in sequence the first pad would be more touch sensitive and loud. There are also several third party plugins I'm aware of that manipulate the lighting in an incredible way. Overall, everything is designed to ensure that you can control and visually see the details of each pad without looking at your computer.

It works perfect in all light conditions. There are several different levels of dot brightness control on both red and green to suit your needs. In bright day or low light conditions it has done well for me as I'm sure it will for you as well.

Not sure that it does. I've only used it in light. Will check it out when back at work.

a quick double click of one finger then hold and swipe that finger over the text you want to highlight. The pad comes with a great guide that takes you though all the different commands, I believe this is on that guide as well.

I have to turn off the two fluorescent tubes behind me to get full range of sensing. in the vertical plane. It will work in ordinary light but it is IR and any heat sources can swamp the sensors causing false readings. The movement range is set using a profile editor (the default one is pretty good to start with). There are profiles for many of the games that support the device, but I can't comment on their usefulness as I don't play them. It works for me in Elite dangerous (excellent) and X-Plane (also excellent). I find that the sense of immersion in the game is tremendously improved.

this might work, if exposed to enough light. something reflective might be a better choice. maybe a trial test would be in order to find out for sure.

I used it to calibrate my desktop and laptop with no problems. If you want constant monitoring for light you have to have the device connected to that computer.

No. It's just to trace an existing drawing of something below your tracing sheet. It is just lights, it has no computer inside.

I love this light pad... however it's not a cutting surface material. I use another piece of glass on the top if I need to utilize it thatway. Plenty of light goes through. Hope this helps.
