Wacom’s pen tablets on display
Intuos3 range - As well as the standard Intuos3 A5 and A4 pen tablets, the Intuos3 range also includes wide format models including the Intuos3 A6 Wide, A5 Wide, A3 Wide and the A4 Oversize. Intuos3 provides extended functionality through the ExpressKeys and Touch Strip. For high precision work, each Intuos3 tablet also offers a resolution of 5,080 dpi and 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity in both the pen tip and eraser.

Cintiq 21UX - An Interactive Pen Display that provides the perfect pen-paper alternative. It enables users to draw, scribble, animate or navigate directly on the 21” liquid crystal display with the cordless, battery-free and pressure sensitive pen. Working with the pen on the display facilitates perfect hand-eye co-ordination meaning most jobs can be done more efficiently.

Cintiq 12WX - Wacom’s first hybrid product combining the advantages of a Cintiq interactive pen display with the portability and compact size of a traditional Intuos3 pen tablet. Offering slimline dimensions comparable to an Intuos3 A5 Wide, the Cintiq 12WX mixes a high quality, 12.1” TFT display for direct pen-on-screen drawing, painting and sketching, with the advanced features and performance consistent with the Cintiq 21UX and Intuos3 range.

Bamboo Fun - Stylish, white, Bamboo Fun is available in two sizes – small and medium. It comes with Adobe Photoshop Elements and ArtRage 2.0 creative software, making it a versatile input device ideal for consumers keen to develop their creative skills.
