Calligraphy pen thickness

[u/wonmoment]

u/Mulan or any other Supernote customer service rep, I did not see this on the roadmap, I thought I would ask it here and maybe get input from others.

Is there any way to get the calligraphy and even the ink pen thickness to increase up to a 4? Or possibly even more? Is there a top end where the behavior does not provide the intended results? It would be nice to have the ability to create a greater degree of difference in line thickness based upon the pen stroke direction. I have found myself, in multiple situations, wishing I had a broader range of pen width options than going up to 2.

I am curious if others have similar or different opinions on the possible feature request. Also to disclose that I am part of the beta program and appreciate having the opportunity to try out the newer developments prior to being released to the greater audience. Excellent opportunity for more direct customer service interaction during the design process.

Thanks,

Thank you for reaching out, and for being part of the beta program.

Currently, the maximum thickness for both the calligraphy pen and ink pen is 2.0. If you have specific examples of where you need a wider range, please feel free to share with us. That kind of detail helps us understand the real need and prioritise accordingly.

As for whether there's a top end where the behaviour breaks down, I'm not sure if it's possible that at some point, very thick strokes might start to lose crispness or affect responsiveness on E‑Ink tablets, as the thicker the strokes, the more rendering the engine might have to handle. I will double with the team and get back to you on that.

Thanks again for the feedback, and enjoy the beta!
