Wacom Enhances MovinkPad Series with ibisPaint X Integration and 180-Day Prime Membership

 

The latest Android update for the Wacom MovinkPad series enhances creative workflows by connecting ibisPaint X, Wacom Canvas, and Wacom Shelf, while introducing a complimentary 180-day ibisPaint Prime Membership.

Tokyo, Japan — December 17, 2025 — Wacom today released a new Android update for the Wacom MovinkPad series that introduces ibisPaint X as a pre-installed app and deepens the integration between Wacom Canvas, Wacom Shelf, and ibisPaint X — one of the world’s most popular illustration platforms — enabling creators to move seamlessly between sketching, editing, and managing their artwork.

Wacom’s MovinkPad series continues the company’s vision of portable, all-in-one creative pads for drawing anywhere. The series includes the Wacom MovinkPad 11, introduced in mid-2025, and the Wacom MovinkPad Pro 14, launched in October. These standalone pen displays combine Wacom’s signature pen technology with a built-in Android environment to deliver a complete, PC-free drawing experience.

On both devices, users will be able to open sketches created in Wacom Canvas directly in ibisPaint X or view ibisPaint X project files within Wacom Shelf. Wacom Shelf now supports IPV, the native ibisPaint X format, in addition to JPG, HEIC, PNG, CLIP, BMP, WEBP, and TIFF, allowing users to browse and organize their creations more intuitively. These improvements reflect Wacom Canvas and Wacom Shelf optimization for ibisPaint X, designed to make creative workflows even smoother.

With over 500 million downloads worldwide, ibisPaint X stands as one of the most recognized digital art apps globally.

ibisPaint X will be added with the latest Android update on the Wacom MovinkPad 11, while MovinkPad Pro 14 users can update ibisPaint X, Wacom Canvas, and Wacom Shelf through Google Play.

“With the integration of ibisPaint X, the Wacom MovinkPad series will expand to enable even more diverse creative experiences,” said Koji Yano, Senior Vice President, Creative Experience Unit at Wacom. “By connecting Wacom’s creative ecosystem with vibrant art communities around the world, we believe we can offer new opportunities and possibilities for creative expression to even more people.”

The update also introduces a complimentary 180-day ibisPaint Prime Membership for all Wacom MovinkPad users — both new and existing — giving them access to the full range of Prime features available through ibisPaint X. The Prime Membership removes ads, expands cloud storage to 20 GB, and adds access to vector tools, exclusive Prime Materials, apply Canvas Papers, Prim Fonts, and advanced filters such as Tone Curve and Gradation Map — letting users explore every detail of ibisPaint X right away.

With ibisPaint now available on the Wacom MovinkPad series, users can enjoy a more intuitive and liberating creative experience than ever before,” said Yuka Inoue, Section Manager at ibis inc. “We believe this freedom—to draw whenever and wherever inspiration strikes—will further expand the possibilities of artistic expression. We’re also truly delighted to support creators on their creative journeys.

This update reflects Wacom’s ongoing commitment to supporting everyone who loves to draw — from beginners exploring digital art to experienced illustrators seeking a portable, all-in-one device that adapts to their style and workflow.

Join PetroSync API Training to Accelerate Your Professional Growth

  

Accelerate your team’s productivity, cut operational costs, and stay ahead of competitors by joining PetroSync API Training. Build API expertise that drives efficiency and growth.

In today’s competitive industrial landscape, standing still is often more dangerous than moving too fast. As a business leader, you may not feel the pressure immediately—but your competitors do. They are upgrading their teams, tightening compliance, and leveraging smarter tools to operate more efficiently. The real question is: where does your organization stand today?

When Your Competitors Move Faster Than Your Team

You may have experienced this moment before. A competitor secures a contract faster, passes an audit more smoothly, or delivers projects with fewer shutdowns. On the surface, it looks like luck. In reality, it is preparation.

High-performing companies understand that API standards are not just technical checklists. They are strategic assets. Teams trained in globally recognized standards respond faster, communicate better with stakeholders, and reduce operational friction.

When your engineers and inspectors are equipped with the right API expertise, productivity naturally improves. Industry data consistently shows that well-trained technical teams can increase productivity by up to 20–30%, simply because decisions are made faster and with greater confidence. Without this capability, delays become routine—and delays open doors for competitors.

The Hidden Cost of Delayed Decisions in Asset Integrity

Every postponed inspection, unclear assessment, or misinterpreted standard has a cost. Sometimes it shows up as unplanned downtime. Other times, it appears as escalating maintenance expenses or compliance risks.

Asset integrity failures are rarely caused by lack of effort. More often, they stem from gaps in knowledge. This is where specialized programs such as API 579 training play a critical role. Fitness-for-Service assessments allow your team to make informed decisions—whether to repair, rerate, or continue operating safely.

Companies that invest in this level of expertise often see measurable gains in operational efficiency. Clear evaluation frameworks reduce unnecessary shutdowns and optimize maintenance planning. In practical terms, this can translate into 10–15% cost savings annually by avoiding over-conservative repairs or late corrective actions.

And when decisions are made with confidence, your leadership team spends less time firefighting and more time focusing on growth.

Why High-Performing Companies Invest Early in API Expertise

Forward-thinking organizations do not wait for audits or incidents to trigger action. They invest early in capability building. Training programs such as API 570 training and API 510 training empower professionals to identify risks before they escalate.

This proactive mindset directly impacts operational efficiency. Trained inspectors and engineers can streamline inspection cycles, reduce rework, and improve cross-functional collaboration. When everyone speaks the same technical language, workflows become smoother.

Many companies now combine strong technical competency with digital tools such as AI-powered chatbots to support daily operations. These tools help teams access standards, procedures, and historical data instantly. Studies show that AI-assisted support can reduce administrative workload by up to 40%, allowing technical teams to focus on high-value tasks. The result is faster response times, better use of expertise, and tangible cost savings across operations.

The message is clear: organizations that blend technical mastery with smarter processes move faster—and leave others behind.

Turning Compliance into a Competitive Advantage

Compliance is often viewed as a requirement, not an opportunity. But market leaders see it differently. They turn compliance into credibility.

Specialized programs like API 936 training enable teams to manage refractory systems with precision, reducing failure risks in high-temperature environments. This level of competence strengthens client trust, improves safety performance, and enhances your company’s reputation.

When your team demonstrates deep understanding of API standards, clients notice. Regulators notice. Partners notice. And in competitive bids, that credibility often becomes the deciding factor.

By investing in PetroSync API Training, you are not just training individuals—you are building an organization that operates with clarity, efficiency, and confidence. Productivity improves, operational waste decreases, and costs are controlled through better decisions and smarter tools.

In a market where competitors are constantly advancing, the real risk is waiting too long. The companies that lead tomorrow are the ones preparing today.

About PetroSync Global Internasional

PetroSync was established in Singapore in 2010 and began its expansion into Indonesia in 2013. To this day, PetroSync has become a leading oil and gas training provider, with a participant passing rate as high as 90%.

Avoid These Common Trading Mistakes: TradingPRO's Quick Guide


 Many traders lose money not because the market is “unpredictable,” but because of repeatable mistakes that can be avoided with better discipline and planning. TradingPRO shares a quick guide to help Filipino traders recognize common pitfalls and build smarter trading habits especially in fast-moving market conditions. Whether you’re a beginner or already trading actively, avoiding these mistakes can improve consistency and protect your capital over time.

1) Trading Without a Clear Plan

Entering trades “just to try” often leads to emotional decisions and inconsistent results.

Fix: Define your entry, exit, and risk limits before placing any trade.

2) Skipping Stop Loss (or Moving It When the Trade Goes Wrong)

Not setting a Stop Loss or constantly adjusting it out of fear—can expose traders to large unexpected losses.

Fix: Use Stop Loss and stick to it unless your strategy requires rule-based adjustments.

3) Overleveraging and Overexposure

Using high leverage or opening positions that are too large can wipe out an account quickly, especially during volatility.

Fix: Use conservative sizing and ensure you always have enough free margin.

4) Overtrading After a Win or Loss

Many traders trade more aggressively after a win (confidence) or after a loss (revenge trading), increasing risk.

Fix: Set a daily trade limit and take breaks after major wins/losses to reset emotionally.

5) Ignoring Market Timing

Trading during low liquidity or highly volatile sessions without preparation increases slippage and poor entries.

Fix: Be aware of major global sessions and high-impact news periods—trade only when conditions match your strategy.

6) Not Reviewing Trades

Without tracking performance, traders often repeat the same mistakes.

Fix: Keep a simple trading journal—record entries, exits, reasons, and outcomes.

LootBX Launches in Manila: A New Way to Reward Viewers and Gamers

  

Manila, Philippines – December 10, 2025

LootBX made its official debut at High Grounds Café in Quezon City. The event gave creators, gamers, and fans a first look at a platform built on a different kind of streaming philosophy. Ever wished that watching content could actually reward you back? If so, LootBX is trying to make that the new normal.

Unlike traditional streaming apps, LootBX lets creators drop real-time loot on screen. You tap it. You claim it. Viewers can earn points, climb leaderboards, and snag random drops that creators activate during streams. It’s simple, but game-changing once you see it in action.

And that’s exactly what the launch was about. No gimmicks. No long speeches. Just a clear, straightforward look at what the platform can actually do.

The event opened with a short welcome, followed by an introduction to LootBX’s vision. Country Manager Paolo Bago discussed why attention rewards are overdue in the creator economy. He explained that viewers give time, loyalty, and energy. It makes sense for them to get something in return.

The highlight of the night was the live unboxing of a giant Loot Box at the center of the venue. More loot dropped. The crowd grabbed what they could. For a moment, it felt like the app had spilled out into the real world.

Guests also got to meet the first wave of headline creators officially joining LootBX, all-stars in the gaming scene. If you follow gaming, this list alone tells you Lootbox isn’t playing small:

Naser “Dogie” Mollazehi

Renejay “Renejay” Barcase

Cher “Cherizawa” Barnacha

John “H2wo” Salonga

Tristan “Yawi” Cabrera

The night wrapped up with live auditions and a LAN Clash Mini Tournament of Valorant. This gave attendees a close-up look at the community's competitive side. High Grounds Café became a mix of tryouts, friendly rivalry, and creators meeting fans face-to-face.

LootBX is now gearing up for its next rollout. If you want to try the platform early, you can jump in anytime. LootBX is officially live, and the next chapter is #YoursToOpen.
