Wacom's Cintiq 21UX interactive pen display combines the advantages of an LCD monitor with the control, comfort, and productivity of Wacom's most sophisticated patented cordless, battery-free tablet technology. By using a pen directly on the screen, you work much more quickly and naturally.

The Cintiq 21UX has an 21.3" high-resolution display and a dynamically adjustable stand that allows the display to be rotated, inclined, and even quickly removed for in-lap use. To further enhance your comfort, the Cintiq 21UX comes with a cushioned Grip Pen for use directly on the screen allowing you to create in the most natural way possible.

ExpressKeys and Touch Strips

New ExpressKeys and Touch Strips provide substantial productivity enhancements that greatly speed up workflow in a wide variety of graphics intensive applications. The integrated set of customizable ExpressKeys (default to keyboard modifiers Ctrl & Alt for Windows / Command & Option for Macintosh, plus Shift and Space) are "chordable" - multiple keys can be held down simultaneously for even greater efficiency; and can be easily customized in the Wacom tablet Control Panel. In addition, the new finger-sensitive Touch Strips allow users to zoom, scroll, or perform custom keystroke actions like changing brush size in Adobe® Photoshop®. All this can now be done without having to move to the keyboard, by the touch of a finger right there on the working surface.

Patented Pen Technology

The Pen is cordless and battery-free for reliable and consistent operation. Both the pen tip and eraser feature 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity for precise image editing, accurate selections, and the finely controlled application of effects and filters.

The pen includes a DuoSwitch that is completely programmable through the Wacom tablet control panel. You can set independent actions to each end such as double-click, right-click or any shortcut keys you choose. The DuoSwitch is also removable, and an optional Rubber grip is available without the DuoSwitch hole. Tool ID - customise all your devices When you use multiple pens and/or airbrush, Cintiq 21UX will recognize each device's preconfigured settings, saving time in productive environments. Pressure Sensitivity The 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity offers complete control of delicate brushwork. Not only for drawing & painting, but for masking, blending, retouching and selecting. Pen Tilt Sensitivity Pen tilt sensitivity adds extra dimension to your creative control. ± 60 degrees of tilt sensitivity can be utilized to control the direction of airbrushes, calligraphy tools and a wide variety of additional brush dynamics. Increased resolution, Linear pressure response The tablet resolution has been increased to 5080 lpi, a reporting rate of 133 pps (points per second) via a 12 Mbps USB connection delivering enhanced Mapping Accuracy, DuoSwitches status, linear pressure response and more. There are so many high performance enhancements that the more you explore, the more you will benefit from the experience! Customise your drawing experience Cintiq 21UX includes 3 different pen nibs - "Standard pen nibs (3 pcs)", a "Stroke nib" that includes a dual-spring action for extended tip travel and a more brush-like response, and a "Felt nib" that is formulated to increase the friction between the pen tip and the tablet surface, resulting in more of a "pencil on paper" feel. Now you can even customize the way your drawing style "feels" on your Cintiq 21UX. Customise tablet driver Wacom's exclusive tablet control panel allows customization of all the aspects of the Cintiq 21UX pen and tablet features. The control panel has been totally redesigned and streamlined to optimize the way Wacom customers typically work. It provides application and tool-specific settings, from the pressure sensitivity of the tip and eraser to the programming of the Touch Strips, ExpressKeys and DuoSwitch buttons.
