Made to Create, Built to Grow -- Wacom Introduces the New Wacom Cintiq Line
Wacom unveils a new generation of Wacom Cintiq pen displays — the Cintiq 16, Cintiq 24, and Cintiq 24 touch — delivering professional-grade performance that puts professional creative tools within reach, combining Wacom's Pro Pen 3 technology, compact design, and usability for creators ready to take the next step. TOKYO, June 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Wacom today launched the new Cintiq 16, Cintiq 24, and Cintiq 24 touch pen displays, empowering creators to break boundaries with professional tools made attainable without compromise. Combining the flagship Wacom Pro Pen 3, a slimmer design, and sharp displays built for creative work, these models are built for artists and designers ready to level up their craft and dive headfirst into their boldest ideas. "Creativity isn't about limits—it's about diving into the extraordinary," said Koji Yano, Senior Vice President at Wacom. "The new Cintiq line is for creators who refuse to settle. It's not just a tool—it's the spark that turns 'what if' into 'what's next.'" Natural Feel with the Wacom Pro Pen 3 Utilizing the Wacom Pro Pen 3, the new Cintiq models provide responsive, precise pen strokes thanks to enhanced sampling rate and pressure sensitivity. Artists experience fluid lines closely following movement—supporting expression with improved control. Optional accessories let users customize grip thickness, weight balance, and button layout for comfort during long sessions. Another optional accessory is the Wacom Pro Pen 3 Wood Grip, sold separately, which stands out with its warm, textured finish—offering a more natural feel in the hand for those who prefer an organic touch during long drawing sessions. Clear Display and Comfortable Viewing Available in 16.0" (2560 x 1600 resolution) and 23.8" (2560 x 1440 resolution) sizes, the Cintiq line includes Pen-only and a Pen & Touch model (23.8" only). Direct bonding minimizes the gap between the pen tip and the cursor. Anti-glare etched glass reduces reflections and minimizes eye fatigue. Streamlined Design and Quiet Performance The flat design with a clean, modern profile supports versatile working angles. Both models are slimmer than their predecessors—the Cintiq 24, for example, is nearly half the thickness of the previous 22" model at just 21mm—making them easier to fit into a variety of workspaces. A fanless design ensures quiet operation and helps users stay focused during long creative sessions, without overheating. Adjustable Stand and Flexible Setup The Cintiq 24 includes the Wacom Adjustable Stand, which allows smooth, quiet angle adjustments. The Cintiq 16 comes with fold-out legs and is also compatible with the optional stand, sold separately. Both models are VESA-compatible (75 x 75 mm) for use with third-party monitor arms. All ports are neatly arranged on the back for simplified cable management. All models support USB-C connection, and the 16" model also supports a convenient single-cable setup with power delivery. HDMI and USB-A ports are available on both models as alternative options. All models come with time-limited licenses for creative software, including Clip Studio Paint EX and MASV. Availability The new Wacom Cintiq models will be available this summer.

Why Wacom's tablet redesign could be a game-changer for artists
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. At first glance pen tablets may all look similar. They're slim slates that function like big trackpads, allowing you to draw with a stylus and see the results on a computer monitor. But as we see in the our guide to the best drawing tablets, features like the location of quick keys for shortcuts can make all the difference to artists' workflows. Now Wacom, one of the biggest names in drawing tablets, is shaking things up with a complete overhaul of its leading Intuous Pro range, which has been among the best pro-level pen tablets since its launch in 2013. It reckons the new design makes for a workflow that's "less work, more flow" thanks to new mechanical dial controls (see our and the best Wacom tablets to compare to the brand's other offerings). The new Intuos Pro's game changer is the addition of customisable mechanical dials. Previous models had customisable buttons and a touch wheel on the side of the devices. Now there are mechanical dials at the top of the tablets along with buttons also in a round design. This reduces the space to the side of the active pen area, making all three sizes of the tablet more compact than their predecessors while also offering larger active drawing areas. That should make them more easily portable than before. And the new dial and button position should make it easier for left-handed or ambidextrous users to use the tablet. The small version of the tablet has one dial at the top, while the medium and large versions have two. Users can allocate tools and actions to the dials. As for the customisable express keys, the new round design also saves space. There are five buttons on the Small tablet and ten on the larger models. The other big advantage of the new Intuos Pros is that they come with the same Wacom Pro Pen 3 stylus as the Cintiq Pro and Wacom Movink tablets. This means that artists can switch between display and non-display devices using the same stylus, simplifying things when a workflow requires use of a pen display. It looks like the new design could speed up workflows by offering more customisation. I say 'could' because we still need to test how comfortably it works in practice. The previous position of the express keys meant that they could be easily accessed with one hand while drawing with the other. We will need to test whether their new location requires more hand movement to reach the the controls, particularly on the large tablet when working at the edges of the active area. The new Intuos Pros will work with devices running Windows 10 or macOS 13 or later via wired USB-C to USB-A connection and wireless via Bluetooth 5.3. They can be paired with two devices as there's a switch on the side to jump between USB and Bluetooth. The tablets are priced at Small: $249.95 / £229.99, Medium: $379.95 / £339.98 and Large: $499.95 / £469.99. Orders were not yet open at the time of writing, but the previous-gen devices now have significant discounts. See the current prices on more Wacom tablets below.

Wacom's new tablet sees its biggest redesign in over a decade
At CES 2025, I had the chance to go behind-the-scenes with Wacom and take a look at the new Intuos Pro tablet. Let me be clear about something upfront: I am no artist. Even my stick figures look like they want to be put out of their misery. Despite my complete inability to hold a pencil correctly, the Intuos Pro demonstrated exactly why this new tablet is so beneficial to users. The Intuos Pro doesn't have a screen of its own. Instead, this tablet is designed to go with its user anywhere they need and connect to whatever display they happen to use at the time. Depending on an artist's field of work, they might choose to work on specifically-calibrated monitors. That might disqualify a tablet with a built-in screen, but the Intuos Pro isn't picky about the machine it connects with. This model comes in three separate sizes: small, medium, and large. And though the Intuos Pro is smaller than its predecessor, there's actually a larger amount of space to work with thanks to a clever redesign that moves the controls from the right side of the tablet to the top. This is a big deal for a reason. Not only does it provide more horizontal space for your hands and wrists, but it's also easier for someone to use whether they're right- or left-handed. The smallest model has five buttons at the top, while the two larger models have ten each. These can be customized with shortcuts, and during Wacom's demonstration, I had the chance to watch Sarajean Chung (@theonewithbear) on Instagram illustrate in real-time. It was obvious even to my untrained eye how fluid the Intuos Pro made the process, allowing the artist to transition between various tools with ease. The Intuos Pro works with the Wacom Pro Pen 3, as well as previous generations of Wacom pens and several other EMR (electro-magnetic resonance) pens from other companies. These tablets will be available for purchase at the Wacom Store, Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H starting at $250 for the smallest model.
