Wacom Cintiq, the dream of every animator!!
By Rafiq Elmansy (admin) | February 28, 2009 | Posted in Uncategorized | 5 Comments

The Cintiq family of interactive pen displays combine the advantages of an LCD monitor with the natural feel and superior performance of Wacom’s patented, professional pen technology. By using a pen directly on screen, you work more quickly and naturally with world-class productivity tools that make using a computer as natural as possible.
You have two options for working directly on screen: the Cintiq 12WX, and the Cintiq 21UX. Both products share Wacom’s most advanced display technology to provide world-class precision and control, making Cintiq products key to a digital experience that is closer to working with traditional materials and tools than ever before.
Pixel-level pen accuracy provides highly precise cursor control. The Cintiq Grip Pen features 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity on the pen tip and eraser for precise image editing, accurate brush control, and selective application of effects and filters. The result is an amazingly smooth, responsive on-screen experience that mirrors a traditional pen-on-paper feel. Additionally, the cushioned, contoured barrel of the pen has been designed to minimize grip effort for hours of comfortable use.
Both products in the Cintiq family have textured, scratch-resistant surfaces and are completely flat edge-to-edge, allowing the hand to glide over the entire surface easily, and also have adjustable stands that allow you to angle or pivot the display to achieve optimal working angles. Strategically-placed, programmable ExpressKeys™ and Touch Strips let you zoom, scroll, and activate keyboard shortcuts for even greater speed.

Can I ask is this a good pad for somebody just starting out? A friend told me that the Wacom Bamboo was good for starting?
Thanks,

Actually, I checked other tablets cheaper than Wacom, but it was a money lose. Wacom is the best. If you got good balance, getting a cintiq turns your life to a real fun

Hi Rafig,
Thanks so much for your information!
I want like to say that money is not an issue, but going back to school here in Hawaii is not as cheap as you think:)
I would rather but the best tablet for my needs instead of just getting something for now. I just bought the new MacBook Pro, becasue it is the best for me!
I am taken Digital Drawing with Adobe Illustrator in the fall, and I am so excited about the class, and I hope to create some great digital art work!
Thanks so much for the post, and your feedback!
