Writing or drawing with SMART Ink

SMART Ink enables you to write or draw digital ink over open application files, folders, websites and any other open window on your computer. You can write with your interactive product’s tools or with the drawing tools in the SMART Ink toolbar.

Tip 

If your interactive product supports multitouch, two people can work together to write, erase or interact with content anywhere on the interactive surface at the same time.

To write with your interactive product’s tools

  1. Pick up a pen from your interactive whiteboard’s pen tray or press an ink color button on your interactive pen display.

  2. Write over an open file, folder or website on your interactive product.

    Tip 

    The ink becomes an object that you can move and manipulate.

To write with SMART Ink pen tools

  1. Select a pen color and a line thickness from the SMART Ink toolbar.

  2. Write over an open file, folder or website on your interactive product.

    Tip 

    The ink becomes an object that you can move and manipulate.

  3. Press Select on the toolbar when you’re done. Otherwise, your interactive product continues interpreting screen touches as pen strokes.
