Wacom Releases the New Cintiq 16

Wacom has a long history as the quality leader in digital art tablets. All the high end drawing tablet designs were pioneered by Wacom. Their newest product, the Cintiq 16 aims to bring the high level of quality Wacom is known for to a more affordable price point.

Wacom explain the history of their Cintiq tablet as follows: “In 2001, Wacom responded to customer requests for a pen tablet that was as easy to use as pen and paper, but with all the advantages that digital media provides. The first Cintiq, the Cintiq 15x, was born. It was a hit. Heck, it was more than just a hit. It quite literally started an art and design revolution and helped put digital content creation on the map. While the primary benefit of using a Cintiq is the efficiency gained from working with the pen directly on screen, it is the dramatic improvements in ergonomic comfort, artistic control and productivity that have really made the Cintiq a shining star within the creative community. Today, and numerous versions of the Cintiq later, one would be hard pressed to find a professional digital content creator, such as an animator, game developer, industrial designer or illustrator, who does not depend on his or her Cintiq for work. Over the past 18 years and with every Cintiq introduction, from the Cintiq 21UX to the Cintiq Pro 24, each new Cintiq family member continues to get more sophisticated with better work surfaces, incredibly precise, pressure-sensitive pens, as well as expanded non-dominant hand control capabilities.”
