Building on over 35 years of product innovation and valuable customer feedback, the Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 combines the company\u2019s most natural and precise pen performance with newly improved ergonomic features into a sleek and portable form factor to help artists, designers, photographers or anyone with a passion for art let their creativity flow from pen to screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"NEW Wacom CintiqPro 16 (2021)\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ztpamio3II4?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe launch of the Cintiq Pro 16 puts the power of our flagship creative pen display line into an extremely portable device that is more adaptable than ever before - giving artists not only better precision, but also flexibility in how and where they work,\u201d said Faik Karaoglu, Executive Vice President of Marketing for Wacom\u2019s Creative Business Unit. \u201cWacom continues to build products that help artists and designers reach their full potential and reimagine what is possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enhanced comfort and control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Wacom Cintiq Pro 16\u2019s sleek and thin design makes it easy to slip into a laptop bag or backpack and is a smart choice for today\u2019s digital content creators who find themselves moving between working locations and computers on a regular basis. \u201cFor professionals who are already using a Cintiq Pro 24 or 32 at their place of work, having a Cintiq Pro 16 at the home studio makes a great deal of sense as the device will be most familiar,\u201d adds Karaoglu. \u201cIt also happens to be a wonderful choice for schools who are training the next generation for careers in animation, industrial design, game development, photography, etc.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wacom\u2019s latest touch screen technology on the Cintiq Pro 16 offers better performance over previous generations. The option to use the pen and multi-touch together is still alive and well as many users enjoy using their fingers for easy and fast navigation as well as the ability to pinch, zoom and rotate illustrations, photos or models within supporting 2-D and 3-D creative software applications. For added customization and sophistication, the Cintiq Pro 16 features a physical switch on the top edge of the screen\u2019s bezel for turning multi-touch on or off for those users who prefer having touch turned off while working. Additionally, eight ExpressKeys\u2122, for integrating and customizing keyboard shortcuts and modifiers into one\u2019s workflow, are conveniently placed on the rear edge sides (four on each side) of the display for better ergonomics and the added benefit of more screen real estate for drawing. States Karaoglu, \u201cMoving the ExpressKeys to the rear of the device is more intuitive and improves ergonomics and haptic feedback as the keys are located in an area where most user\u2019s hands will naturally gravitate to when working.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-image-10479 size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2021\/10\/Cintiq-Pro-16-Expresskeys.jpg\" alt=\"Cintiq Pro Expresskeys Bottom\" class=\"wp-image-810764\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2021\/10\/Cintiq-Pro-16-Expresskeys.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2021\/10\/Cintiq-Pro-16-Expresskeys-980x552.jpg 980w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2021\/10\/Cintiq-Pro-16-Expresskeys-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1080px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">ExpressKeys for customizing keyboard shortcuts are located on the rear of the device for improved ergonomics.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Natural pen-on-screen performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wacom\u2019s Pro Pen 2 offers unmatched creative control and precision to those who take their digital art seriously. Delivering four times greater accuracy and pressure sensitivity than the previous Pro Pen, the improved Pro Pen 2 creates an intuitive, free-flowing experience with virtually lag-free tracking on an anti-glare, etched glass surface that emulates the natural feel and feedback of a traditional pen or brush. In addition, optical bonding greatly reduces parallax for better performance when working with fine lines or details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Handy accessories <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Wacom Adjustable Stand lets users focus on their work instead of having to draw or paint in a way that is counterintuitive to their style. Third party stands can also be attached to the unit\u2019s VESA mount. For artists who like to experiment with different types of pens, the thin Pro Pen slim and Pro Pen 3D, with three customizable buttons, provide new ways to get creative. When color is critical, the Wacom Color Manager, with Wacom Calibrator hardware and Wacom Profiler software, helps make sure that the colors on your displays and finished work reproduce exactly as intended. Lastly, the handheld ExpressKey Remote is designed to boost productivity by creating software application shortcuts with its 17 customizable buttons and Touch Ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Configuration, pricing and availability<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 is compatible with both Mac<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> and PC computers and features ultra HD 4K resolution (3840x2160) through either USB-C<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> or HDMI<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> connectivity.
