Wacom announced a new, significantly upgraded version of its Intuos pen tablet for creative beginners and enthusiasts. Bundled with software for drawing, painting and image editing, the new Intuos tablet offers an immediate start into digital art.
Anyone interested in getting creative on a digital level will be able to enjoy a natural pen experience, featuring improved accuracy and enhanced online navigation capability. Ambitious comic and Manga fans, hobby painters and photographers simply need to download their software of choice to “get creative.”
“Wacom has a legacy of providing state-of-the-art technology and full solutions to our customers,” said Faik Karaoglu, Executive Vice President at Wacom’s Creative Business Unit. “We know that only the combination of hardware and software allows for an immediate start. That is why we asked leading software partners to join us in the new pen tablet offer. We believe that our customers will love the new Intuos for its advanced technology and software options.”
Upon purchase of the new Wacom Intuos, users can download creative software, including Corel® Painter® Essentials™ 6 for design and illustration, CELSYS CLIP STUDIO PAINT PRO for comic and Manga creation, and Corel® AfterShot™ 3 for photo editing. Numerous video tutorials by Wacom, Corel and Celsys, will help users to get started.
New Intuos features include built-in wireless Bluetooth integration on select models and three colour choices. Available in small and medium sizes, all models have the same active tablet area as previous versions but with a smaller footprint and lighter weight. A built-in pen tray, four express keys, an LED indicator and in the Bluetooth models a 60 per cent improvement on battery life rounds out the upgrade.
