Wacom is already for years the leading manufacturer for Graphics tablets for both Macintosh and Windows operating systems. The Cintiq 21 UX family of interactive pen displays enables creative professionals to work naturally and intuitively using Wacom’s patented professional pen technology directly on the surface of an LCD display.
The new Wacom Cintiq 21UX is revolution in his sort and working directly on the screen. These high-quality displays, combined with the Cintiq pressure- and tilt-sensitive Grip Pens, offer world-class levels of precision and control. It also offers comfort for editing digital images, applying effects and filters. Sketching, painting and modeling has never been easier. The amazingly responsive, pen-on-screen performance closely replicates the experience of working with traditional brushes and markers, but offers all the benefits of a digital work flow. You have the feeling that you literally paint on the screen.
The Cintiq’s scratch-resistant glass surface is completely flat edge-to-edge, allowing the hand to glide easily over the entire surface. Both Cintiqs offer adjustments that allow them to be set up in different working positions and at different viewing angles. They also come equipped with finger-sensitive Touch Strips and Express Keys that can be customized with commonly-used shortcuts and modifiers to speed and simplify any work flow.
They both support the applications such as Adobe Photoshop, Autodesk and Sketchbook pro and of course Corel painter. They are compatible with both Mac and Pc Platforms.
Working with Cintiq
Once I got Cintiq connected and configured, working with it was a dream! Response was instantaneous and it was very liberating to draw directly on the screen (even the dinky 1280 by 800 pixels screen of the 12WX). Like all Wacom’s professional pen tablets, the Cintiq offers 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity and tilt sensitivity of 60° in any direction. I have worked with other tablets but this was an experience not ever felt.
Cintiq includes a cordless, battery-free grip pen with two side buttons. Inverting the pen switches to an eraser in most pen-aware software. Several replacement nibs are included. On each side of the display panel are five programmable buttons called Express Keys and a finger-sensitive touch strip. The Wacom control panel lets you assign functions for the pen buttons, Express Keys, touch strips, pen feel, and so on.
A display toggle feature in the control panel allows you to use the pen to move the cursor on your primary display (as you would with a tablet) or confine it only to the Cintiq display. Cintiq uses the same control panel the Wacom Intuos3 does, so it may be familiar to you. In fact, all Intuos3 accessories also work with the Cintiq displays and you can use the Intuos and Cintiq concurrently.
It is one of Amazon leading products because it guarantees for professionals and starters an amazing experience to draw directly on the screen with so much ease because of the pressure sensitivity and tilt sensitivity of this fantastic pen on this beautiful designed graphic tablet.
