Wacom Cintiq

Cintiq 12WX and Cintiq 21UX

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 (Cintiq 12WX) and 2,048 (Cintiq 21UX) 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.

What's New

What's New with the Cintiq 21UX (DTK2100)

Slightest Nuance

Featuring Wacom's new Tip Sensor, Cintiq 21UX now captures the slightest nuance of pen pressure, starting with as little as a single gram of force.

Working Under Pressure

With 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity, you’ll feel just like you’re working with a traditional paintbrush, marker, pen or pencil. Dynamically adjust exposure, brush size and line weight simply by varying the pressure of the pen on the screen.

At Your Fingertips

All 16 ExpressKeys™ are customizable, giving you handy access to application-specific keyboard shortcuts and modifiers. The Show Settings key displays your current key settings on-screen.

Touch and Go

Two rear-mounted, finger-sensitive Touch Strips, along with two Touch Strip Toggle buttons speed your workflow and let you comfortably control up to four functions (including zoom, scroll, brush size and canvas rotation) in each of your software applications.

Change Your Point of View

In addition to reclining, the Cintiq 21UX freely rotates up to 180° in either direction to accommodate your arm’s natural drawing movements, or to quickly change your viewing angle.

Reclines for Comfort

The Cintiq 21UX reclines from 10° to 65°, allowing you to find your most comfortable working position. The Cintiq 21UX can also easily be removed from the stand and laid flat on a tabletop or mounted on an articulating arm (not included).

Big and Beautiful

The large, stylish 21.3" display with its 1600 x 1200 pixel resolution, delivers both a high-quality visual experience and plenty of room to edit, design and create. Color calibrate the Cintiq to match other displays, as well as your output or printing process.

Switches, Where You Want Them

User-defined switches are preset to "right-click" and "double-click", or can be set to your most commonly- used functions.

Natural Feel

The Cintiq 21UX Grip Pen features a new contoured barrel designed to minimize grip effort, reduce stress to your hand and wrist, and otherwise emulate the feel of your favorite writing instrument.

True Value

The Cintiq 21UX combines two powerful tools in one – an extra large professional pen tablet and a high-quality, color-accurate graphics monitor. The result is a tool that helps you work faster and more naturally.

Peek Inside

The new pen stand not only functions as a convenient pen holder, but also provides a handy twist-off storage compartment containing pen nibs and a pen nib removal tool.

Accessorize

To complement your Cintiq, choose from a variety of accessories, including alternate pens such as the Art Pen, Airbrush or Classic Pen, as well as pen nibs and other replacement parts.
