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 comfortable 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 traditional materials than ever before.
The smooth and responsive reaction is the
closest you will get to the traditional 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.
