Discover the Power of EMR: How Wacom’s Pen Technology Sets the Standard

Whether you’re sketching your next masterpiece, editing photos with precision, or navigating a complex CAD design, the tools you use make all the difference. At the heart of Wacom’s innovation is our EMR (Electro-Magnetic Resonance) pen technology — a sophisticated, battery-free solution trusted by creative professionals and business users worldwide. With the release of the Wacom Pro Pen 3, we’re taking pen performance and personalization to the next level.

What is EMR Technology?

Wacom’s EMR (Electro-Magnetic Resonance) is an advanced digital pen technology that powers a wide range of our pen-enabled devices. Unlike traditional styluses that rely on batteries or charging, EMR pens draw energy wirelessly from the tablet surface using electromagnetic signals. This EMR pen technology means:

  • No batteries or charging required
  • Instant response and high precision
  • Lightweight, natural pen feel

Each pen stroke is captured with impressive speed and accuracy, giving users a seamless, analog-like experience. EMR tech also supports tilt recognition and pressure sensitivity, allowing for detailed and expressive input — essential for artists, designers, educators, and engineers.


Why EMR Stands Out

Wacom’s EMR technology has become the industry gold standard because it offers:

  • High durability – no charging means fewer hardware failures
  • Unmatched sensitivity – up to 8192 pressure levels, a feature of EMR pen technology
  • Environmental friendliness – no disposable batteries
  • Reliable performance – even with heavy, professional use

It’s also secure and highly customizable, making it ideal for everything from creative studios to digital classrooms and enterprise solutions.
