Cintiq

The Cintiq line of tablets are the premium products from Wacom.

They are a tablet within an LCD screen so you work directly on screen and they are truly wonderful.

They can be thought of as an Intuos 3 in an LCD - with the same pressure sensitivity and the same resolution and it is much, much easier for the professional to work directly on the Cintiq screen than on a tablet on a desk.

The unique features include:

A flat surface from edge to edge which allows the hand to glide over the surface without bumping into anything

A textured, scratch-resistant surface provides a natural feel

Adjustable stand helps maintain a comfortble working position

Programmable Express Keys and Scroll Bars are fully programmable which means you can program your most used keyboard shortcuts

Cushioned and contoured pen allows for hours of use without fatigue

available in 2 sizes - 12" and 21"

Advantages

You work more quickly and accurately by using the pen directly on screen.

Using the pen directly on screen is closer to working with traditonal materials than ever before.

The smooth and responsive reaction is the closest you will get to the tradional paper and pen feel.

The comfortable pen and the ability to tilt the screen means less fatigue after hours of retouching, restoring, drawing and painting.

Compatable with both MAC and Windows and easy to install.
