DUBAI: With UAE gearing up to become one of the hubs for creative talent, the launch of the Cintiq Pro 27 could not have come at a better time.

Wacom, the global leader in the pen display and tablet market for creative users, officially revealed the Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 pen display designed for harmony in a premium launch event held in the UAE’s first digital art theatre ToDA in Dubai.

 Cintiq Pro 27 is a creative instrument defined and developed by members of the global art and design community in conjunction with Wacom’s product teams to deliver the most immersive and stable pen on screen experience to date.

Purpose built for creative professionals – 2D illustrators, 3D modelers, animators, game developers, virtual production artists, etc. – the Cintiq Pro 27’s large digital canvas offers seamless interaction with creative software applications and provides the comfort and ease of use synonymous with all Wacom devices. The new 27-inch Cintiq Pro represents a major step forward in virtually all categories that matter to digital pen display users, such as improved pen performance and multi-touch, better ergonomics, faster refresh rates, vivid and accurate color as well as a focus on comfort and custom options.

Additionally, users will appreciate the modern look, light weight and thin 27” screen that sports a smaller footprint than its Cintiq Pro 24 sibling. Wacom’s latest pen display joins the Cintiq Pro 16 and Cintiq Pro 24 models to form a comprehensive range of sizes for every need and workspace.

Ajoe Thomas, Regional Manager, New Markets at Wacom, shared exclusively to Arab News Japan his thoughts about the launch of the new Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 in the Middle East region:

“The Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 is thoughtfully built to be an extension of the artists’ hand and vision. With UAE gearing up to become one of the hubs for creative talent, I think the timing is ideal for the launch of this model. We believe that the Cintiq Pro 27 is a game changer and expect the creative community and professionals in the Middle East, who collaborate today on a global scale, to be benefited by its intuitive, natural feeling pen and touch input, extremely accurate, factory calibrated color, faster refresh features and other design features.”

About his recommendations for the artists who are looking forward for the Wacom Cintiq Pro 27, Thomas said:” The product will hit the stores this month and I would urge the artists in the region to get their hands on one. We are confident that the Cintiq Pro 27 will add value to their workflow”.

“The emphasis on cloud computing and the dependencies placed on professional freelance and studio artists to collaborate freely, quickly and efficiently on a global scale requires a multi-tasking, do-it-all creative tool,” says Faik Karaoglu, Executive Vice President of Wacom’s Branded Business Group. “With the new Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 creative professionals can count on intuitive and natural-feeling pen and touch input, extremely accurate, factory-calibrated color, faster refresh and other design features that allow users to comfortably and confidently produce and share work across the creative pipeline.”
