For almost 20 years the Intuos line of tablets from Wacom have been the Number 1 choice of Graphic Professional. The current professional version, the Intuos 3, is a truly incredible product that digital artists and professional photographers cannot live without.

The Models

The tablets are available in 6 sizes with 3 of them optimized for widescreen (16:10 aspect ratio) monitors. The unique sizes are:

The Tablet

No matter what size Intuos3 you choose, you will appreciate the 1024 levels of pressure and the incredible 5080 DPI resolution.

The resolution of the Intuos3 is really amazing. It is sooooo smooth and a real pleasure to work with.

The Pen

The cushioned, contoured pen is comfortable in your hand and that means you can use the pen all day without fatigue and unnecessary strain on your writs.

The unique Intuos3 Pen even comes with 3 different nibs for your artistic pleasure - the standard nib, a Stroke Nib with an amazing little spring which simulates a natural brish and a Felt Nib which replicates the feel of a felt tip pen.

Express Keys

The Express Keys are a really unique and useful addition to the Intuos3 tablet.

On the larger products (6X8 and above) there are eight programmable keys and two Programmable Touch Strips. The programmable keys are set to Photoshop default keys (Alt, Ctrl, Space and Space).

If you wish you can easily change the keys to whatever keyboard shortcut is best for you.

The Touch strip works best as a zoom in/out or brush size.

The Express Keys make things so much easier because you are not constantly reaching up to the keyboard for keyboard shortcuts - they are right on your tablet - right in front of you and easy to reach!

Picture this - when you need a bit of a change from hunching over your keyboard for hours you can put your tablet in your lap and lean back in your chair because you have eight of the most popular keyboard shortcuts plus two scroll strips right there on your tablet - right there in your lap. Now doesn't that sound like a great idea?

There are some really neat accessories available for the Intuos3 for the artistically inclined. They include:

• 6D Art Pen - the 6D Art Pen offers you 360 degrees of barrel rotation, allows you to tilt the pen in any direction, and easily change pen position on the fly. Features include 1,024 levels of pressure-sensitivity, a large grip area for enhanced comfort, both hard plastic and felt nibs for different "feels", and utilizes patented cordless, battery-free technology for reliable and consistent operation.

• Air Brush - A digital pen with the feel and control of a real airbrush. Features include a top-mounted fingerwheel to control ink flow, a pressure-sensitive tip and eraser, and a programmable top button.

• Ink Pen - this pen has the ability to write or draw with ink. The advantage is that you can put a piece of paper on your tablet , draw on it and what your drew on the paper will appear on your screen.

• Lens Cursor Mouse - It is an ideal tool for CAD professionals and anyone doing highly detailed digitizing (such as civil engineers, urban planners, and geologists).

• Travel Bag - The water-resistant neoprene case has dual zippers for easy access and an elastic loop for convenient pen storage while traveling.

These optional accessories will satisfy the needs of the most demanding digital artist or professional photographer.
