Wacom Shows Off More Of Their New Cintiq Pro Lineup

Wacom has added two new tablets to their Cintiq Pro line, as well as a new version of their illustrator pen, giving you more options.

Wacom recently revealed a couple of new items for their illustrator tablet line, as we got a look at a couple of new entries to the Cintiq Pro lineup. The company has introduced two new versions as they have a 17" and a 22" model, both of which retain a lot of the features from the 27" model, but have been shrunk down to make it easier to take places or use in spaces that don't have a ton of room. Along with these additions comes the all-new Pro Pen 3 accessory, which gives you a ton of options to use on the screen, as well as grip and button options depending on how you grip a pen or your finger size. We have more details of all of them below as they are available on their website now.

Wacom Cintiq Pro 17 & 22

The color-critical workflows of today and tomorrow, such as VFX and CG, as well as professional animation, illustration, design, and photography and the desires of students and teachers in creative education, provide the foundation for the new Cintiq Pro 17 and 22. The Cintiq Pro 22 features a 21.5" screen for those who need more screen real estate, while the Cintiq Pro 17 offers a more compact 17.3" display. Both 4K resolution displays are capable of displaying 1.07 billion colors and feature sublime color coverage, including 100% Rec. 709 and 99% DCI-P3 coverage – the color gamuts used most frequently in Video, Film and Broadcast production. Both products are also Pantone and Pantone SkinTone Validated, meeting the Pantone standard for accurately displaying the entire range of human skin tones. In many cases, with this level of accuracy, the need for a second color reference monitor is eliminated from the color-critical workflows of today and tomorrow. The Cintiq Pro 17 and 22 also feature HDR Gamma support. They are equipped with HLG (hybrid log-gamma) and the PQ (perceptual quantization) curve for displaying and editing HDR (high dynamic range) video content. The optimized gamma curves render images to appear truer to how the human eye perceives the real world compared to SDR (standard dynamic range).

Pro Pen 3

Wacom's 40 years of partnership with artists led to the finely tuned tactile experience of the Cintiq Pro line, which ensures an ergonomic, intuitive experience. The fully customizable Pro Pen 3 allows artists to change the grip size, button configuration and weighting of the pen based on their unique needs. Both displays have eight ExpressKeys along the back edges of the displays, which artists can customize according to their preferred shortcuts. And for artists who wish to have even more control and customization in their workflow, the Cintiq Pro 17 and 22 both come with multi-touch support, allowing artists to program specific gestures as shortcuts or develop virtual buttons for added workflow efficiency. Pros who want to further customize their desk set-up can purchase separately a Wacom stand specifically designed to enhance the creative experience or attach their Cintiq Pro to compatible 3rd party arms or stands.
