Wacom's New Intuos Pro Small Completes Advanced Line of Pen Tablets English
TOKYO and PORTLAND, Ore. -- Today, Wacom introduced a new Intuos Pro pen and touch tablet "Small" model to its most advanced line of creative pen tablets. Benefitting from Wacom's 35+ years of know-how, innovation and experience in creating products for digital art and design, the new Intuos Pro Small joins the Intuos Pro Medium and Intuos Pro Large sizes already available at Wacom resellers around the world. The complete line of the latest generation Intuos Pro provides a wealth of features and benefits to digital artists, designers and photographers who demand the very best from their creative instruments.
Featuring Wacom's precise Pro Pen 2 technology with over 8K pen pressure levels, pen tilt sensitivity, natural pen-on-paper feel and battery-free performance, artists now can choose the size -- small, medium or large -- that best fits their way of working. The new small size features the same tablet working area as the previous model of Intuos Pro Small and will be especially appealing to today's always-on-the go creatives, whose Wacom tablet and PC or Mac laptops are rarely far from their side. The space-saving tablet's small footprint, wireless connectivity and battery-free pen technology that never needs charging makes setting up to work at coffee shops, meeting rooms, client's offices, home, school or studio fast and hassle free.
"Whether you're a student taking the tablet from class to the dorm or a photographer needing to quickly retouch some images from a remote location, the new Intuos Pro Small delivers spontaneous creative control and professional grade pen and brush strokes to digital art, design and imaging," says Faik Karaoglu, Executive Vice President of Wacom's Branded Business Group. "Additionally, it's a smart choice for those who have specific workspace size requirements and are looking for a way to experience our very best Pro Pen 2 technology," continues Karaoglu.
Built for pros, all three sizes of Intuos Pro tablets feature a Touch Ring and ExpressKeys, six on the Small and eight on the Medium and Large, for the creation of customized shortcuts to speed up the creative workflow. In addition, incorporating both pen and touch on the tablet allows users to explore new ways to navigate and helps the whole creative experience become more interactive. The slim tablets, also feature a durable anodized Aluminum back case and come with an elegant desktop pen stand containing 10 replacement pen nibs.
Premium Pens, Premier Performance
The Wacom Pro Pen 2 offers Wacom's most advanced creative pen technology to date, featuring four times the pressure sensitivity as the original Pro Pen. 8,192 levels of pressure, tilt recognition and lag-free tracking effectively emulate working with traditional media by offering a natural drawing experience. Additionally, the pen's customizable side switch allows one to easily access commonly used shortcuts, greatly speeding production.
To support the needs of all artists using the Intuos Pro product line, Wacom offers two very helpful accessory pens (purchased separately). The Pro Pen 3D, features a third button which can be set to perform typical 3D tasks such as tumbling objects in commonly used 3D creative and CAD applications. The newly released Pro Pen slim, supports some artists ergonomic preferences for a slimmer pen with a more pencil-like feel. Both are compatible with the Intuos Pro family and can help customize and speed the creative experience.
