What is PenTech 4.0 Technology? 
PenTech 4.0 means the 4th Gen Huion pen technology, which perfectly enhances pressure sensitivity to 16384 levels through digital signals transmitted by Huion's independently developed HV200 chip. It also makes the pressure curve more precise to let you draw lines more evenly when you use pressure from 2g initial activation force to maximum force. 

In addition, PenTech 4.0 also comes with these advanced functions:

Tilt Auto-alignment: it ensures the cursor position will not be offset when you draw lines at any angle.

Reduce Pen Head Size: To avoid blocking your view while you draw.

Extreme Low Retraction Distance: the retraction distance refers to the distance that the pen nib retracts to the inside when the pressure is applied from the minimum to the maximum. It now has been optimized to 0.35mm, which means you will not feel any nib wobbling while drawing.

Some same important advanced functions on PenTech 3.0 are also retained:

Optional Pen Nibs: There are regular nibs and felt nibs (more friction) for artists to choose from.

Tilt Recognition: You can use tilt recognition with software that supports this function to imitate real strokes (such as pencils, brushes, etc.)
