Technology Used in Remarkable 2
Let’s see how the technology actually works to display this “paper-like” quality on a digital tablet. The reMarkable 2 uses an E-ink technology that responds to the pressure applied by your pen on the tablet and reacts to it by transferring ink particles to the surface. As you move the marker, 4096 levels of pressure provide you with the precision you need while writing on this device.
With minimal pen-to-ink distance and incredible responsiveness, it allows for a low latency CANVAS display. It enables those fast and precise pen strokes for a paper-like feel. The team claims to have spent over six years developing this technology.
Remarkable 2 Marker Plus (Pen used)
This tablet will help you avoid all the social media commotion that you generally experience on a regular tablet. With no notifications or distractions, you can go about your day without worry, and in turn, it helps you think clearly. Along with Marker Plus, the reMarkable 2 becomes just as powerful and efficient. This pen delivers just the right amount of friction and draws the digital ink, as we discussed above.
You don’t have to worry about charging or setting this marker up. It is attached to the reMarkable tablet via magnets, and its nib allows it to be tilt and pressure-sensitive. On the opposite end of the Marker Plus, it has a second sensor which generally doubles down as an eraser for you. Just like a traditional pencil, you get to experience the same with Marker Plus. It weighs approximately 19 grams.
