Writing On Your iPad – What You Need to Know
We use our ipads and other touch screen devices for nearly everything so why not write and draw with them as well? More and more people are taking advantage of the technology that comes with active stylus pens to use their touch screens more naturally.
In order to successfully write or draw on a touch screen such as an iPad, it is important to have the correct stylus pen and in-app settings selected for the best results.
Choosing the Right iPad Compatible Stylus Pen
As you are likely aware Apple has created the Apple Pencil which is an active stylus pen that works with certain Apple touch screen devices. What you may not be aware of is that other companies have manufactured stylus pens that are compatible with an iPad as well.
The catch is to be sure the stylus pen you choose is compatible with the version of the iPad you are using. Be aware that although most of the less expensive competitors are functional they can have some issues with certain settings that are specific to Apple devices.
If you opt for the Apple Pencil you can confidently rest your palm on the iPad touch screen while writing and drawing without fear of accidental marks or setting changes.
Apple Pencil
The Apple Pencil is programmed to only react to the tip of the stylus pen, this way if you rest your palm or wrist on the screen it will not acknowledge that you are touching the screen.
In addition to the Apple Pencil, the following three active stylus pens are recommended as sufficient alternatives. The good thing about these alternative options is that they can be used with other devices as well so they are multifunctional.

iPad Palm Rejection Settings – Software and Stylus Required
You may be wondering how iPad palm rejection works. In order for palm rejection to be active, you must have a compatible active stylus pen connected to the touch screen device.

The way you access those menus will depend upon the programs you are using. Once you have figured out how to adjust your program’s palm rejection settings you can focus on the stylus pen. Once connected the palm rejection settings can be activated so you can rest your hand comfortably as you write or draw out your next big idea.
In addition to palm rejection settings most stylus pens including the Apple Pencil offer settings to control pressure sensitivity, line weight, and other helpful features.
