New Wacom Cintiq Interactive Pen Displays
Also joining Wacom's Cintiq lineup is the Cintiq 20WSX, the world's first wide-format desktop pen display. Combining the the same design elements and ergonomic enhancements as the Cintiq 21UX, Wacom's latest wide-format pen display is ideal for those who prefer to work with a 16:10 aspect ratio and may not require the increased resolution of the 21UX.
The Cintiq 12WX is suitable in a variety of computer environments, especially
those where users wish to work across multiple monitors. It is ideal as a companion
monitor for a primary display, alongside other displays in a multi-monitor environment,
or even by itself. Additionally, with an estimated street price of $999, the
Cintiq 12WX is an affordable and ergonomic solution for creative users seeking
an interactive pen display experience.
Key to the Cintiq 12WX is its attractive size and low-profile design for comfortable
and effortless handling. Weighing just 4.4 pounds, its dimensions and thoughtful
styling make it an ergonomic product ideal for flexible integration into existing
workplaces or use at a remote location such as a collaborative meeting at a
client site. Combining the small size and flexibility of a desktop pen tablet
with the natural hand-eye coordination of an interactive pen display, the Cintiq
12WX offers slimline dimensions comparable to Wacom's Intuos®3 6x11
pen tablet.
The Cintiq 12WX features a high quality 12.1" TFT LCD wide-format display
for direct pen-on-screen image editing, painting, sketching, navigating and
collaborating. Like the Cintiq 20WSX and 21UX, the Cintiq 12WX enables near
perfect hand-eye coordination. Users can work with the pressure sensitive pen
directly on screen, providing WXGA resolution of 1,280 x 800 pixels, 24-bit
color depth and a wide viewing angle of 170°. The Cintiq 12WX also features
ten customizable ExpressKeys, five on each side of the display, which can be
set to initiate keyboard shortcuts, modifier keys, and important functions such
as Display Toggle. The Display Toggle function is especially beneficial to those
using the Cintiq 12WX in a multiple monitor environment, allowing users to easily
switch between screens or maximize pen control across different displays. Additionally,
a programmable Touch Strip is ergonomically located on each side of the display
with presets to allow zooming and scrolling in various applications. These "on
board" features significantly improve workflow and productivity by off-loading
environmental controls to the non-dominant hand and allowing the user to focus
on the pen with the pen hand.
The patented, cordless and battery-free Grip Pen offers precise and advanced
tool controls for realistic results due to the 5,080lpi resolution and 1,024
levels of pressure in both the pen tip and eraser. Tilt functionality is supported
with angles of up to 60 degrees, allowing natural-looking pen, brush and eraser
strokes. Additionally, the Cintiq 12WX supports Wacom's optional input
devices such as the 6D Art Pen and Airbrush. The Cintiq's robust driver
software allows users to define and save application-specific settings for a
simple and uninterrupted workflow.
The display comes profiled out of the box and can be calibrated with most color
measurement solutions on the market from companies including X-Rite® and
Datacolor®. It can also be connected either by VGA or DVI for added convenience.
The Cintiq 12WX comes with an adjustable stand that is conveniently and completely
integrated into the Cintiq's body. The stand is optimized for use in three
different orientations -- at a 25-degree angle from horizontal, at a 65-degree
angle or flat (with stand totally retracted) for use on the desk or lap. Due
to its compact size, the Cintiq 12WX can be used in a similar way to a traditional
analog sketchpad, meaning that ideas and creative content can be shared in a
digital format immediately and spontaneously. When placed flat on a desktop,
it also rotates on a pivot point to fit the structure of the human body.
Available now, the Cintiq 12WX is offered through a variety of distribution
channels, as well as direct from Wacom's online www.wacomdirect.com
store.
Also now available is the Cintiq 20WSX, the world's first wide-format
desktop interactive pen display. Featuring a 20.1" widescreen LCD (WSXGA+
1680x1050 resolution) and the same intuitive design as the 21UX, the Cintiq
20WSX provides creative controls and workflow comfort levels that have made
Wacom's interactive pen display's the de facto standard among creative
professionals. Its estimated street price of $1,999 sets a new benchmark for
affordability, allowing a broader audience to experience the freedom and power
of working directly on screen with a Wacom pen.
