Wacom has announced the Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 pen display, a creative instrument defined and developed by members of the global art and design community in conjunction with Wacom's product teams to deliver the most immersive and stable pen on screen experience to date. Purpose built for creative professionals 2D illustrators, 3D modelers, animators, game developers, virtual production artists, etc. the Cintiq Pro 27's large digital canvas offers seamless interaction with creative software applications and provides the comfort and ease of use synonymous with all Wacom devices. The new 27-inch Cintiq Pro represents a major step forward in virtually all categories that matter to digital pen display users, such as improved pen performance and multi-touch, better ergonomics, faster refresh rates, vivid and accurate color as well as a focus on comfort and custom options. Additionally, users will appreciate the modern look, light weight and thin 27 screen that sports a smaller footprint than its Cintiq Pro 24 sibling. Wacom's latest pen display joins the Cintiq Pro 16 and Cintiq Pro 24 models to form a comprehensive range of sizes for every need and workspace.
The emphasis on cloud computing and the dependencies placed on professional freelance and studio artists to collaborate freely, quickly and efficiently on a global scale requires a multi-tasking, do-it-all creative tool, says Faik Karaoglu, Executive Vice President of Wacom's Creative Business Unit. Enter the Cintiq Pro 27, with intuitive and natural-feeling pen and touch input, extremely accurate, factory-calibrated color, faster refresh and other design features that allow users to comfortably and confidently produce and share work across the creative pipeline.
The pen on screen experience on the Cintiq Pro 27 has been vastly improved with the introduction of the Pro Pen 3. Users now have the ability to change the weight, barrel size and center of gravity of the pen with interchangeable components that come with the pen. Being able to customize the pen allows artists and designers to satisfy their exact working preferences which ultimately translates into more comfortable and natural-feeling digital input sessions. In addition, the Pro Pen 3 has enhanced tilt recognition and still features Wacom's renowned EMR (Electro-Magentic Resonance) technology with 8,192 levels of pressure and battery-free operation.
Multi-touch also comes standard and is extremely valuable for an artists' non-dominant hand when working in programs, especially 3D applications, requiring one to pinch, zoom and rotate a model or sculpture while working with the pen. For those working in a virtual production environement, the ten-point selective touch allows users to precisely manipulaute on-screen sliders and other navigable features for an extremely efficient workflow.
The Cintiq Pro 27's new display features virtually no parallax and latency with a much improved refresh rate of 120Hz, allowing the cursor to track twice as fast as previous models. Delivering brilliant 4k resolution in 10-bit color, 98% DCI-P3 (Digital Cinema Initiatives - Protocol 3), the film industry's color standard, as well as 99% Adobe RGB color accuracy, users will delight in the fidelity of the display and the true-to-life visual experience. The display is not only Pantone validated, but also Pantone SkinTone validated, meeting the Pantone standard for accurately displaying the entire range of human skin tones.
The Cintiq's new stand (sold separately) matches the modern, sleek design of the new pen display. It's fully adjustable to meet virtually any working position and even supports +/- 20 degrees of screen rotation. For users seeking another stand option, the display does have Vesa mounts for other OEM stands.
Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 users from every discipline - illustration, animation, game development, photography and industrial design to name a few - will find that all of their favorite pressure-sensitive software applications interrelate perfectly with the new pen display.
The Cintiq Pro 27 pen display will be available at the Wacom eStore, Canada eStore and select retailers at the time of launch. The suggested retail price is $3,499.95 for the pen display and $499.95 for the custom stand. Wacom also cares about the environment and over 50% of the display's main body and stand utilize PCR plastic.
