What is Huion PenTech 3.0 technology? 

To achieve a better user experience, Huion first brought PenTech 3.0 with the pen display Kamvas 12/13/16 (2021). The new generation pen uses a new sensor model. The sensor position is lower from 6mm to 3.5mm. A lower sensor position means quicker response and reduces the idling distance from 0.8mm to 0.3mm. The pen nib shape is also optimized for better accuracy. With the new PenTech 3.0, the pen now follows every pen movement tightly.
