News | 27.06.2025

For anyone passionate about digital art, design, or visual creation, the Wacom Cintiq product line stands out as a premier choice. Born from the voices of creators pursuing their passion, Wacom Cintiq pen displays offer an intuitive, high-performance platform designed to bring your artistic visions to life.

Whether you're a seasoned professional, an aspiring artist, or looking for a transformative gift, the Wacom Cintiq line (DTK168 / DTK246 / DTH246) offers models tailored to diverse needs and creative workflows.

Here’s why Wacom Cintiq models deserve your attention:

1. Unrivalled Pen Experience with Wacom Pro Pen 3. At the core of the Wacom Cintiq experience is the 3rd Generation Wacom Pro Pen 3, featuring the same advanced pen technology found in Wacom's professional models. This innovative pen is designed for comfort, precision, and a natural drawing feel, adapting to your unique style.

  • Customisation: The Pro Pen 3 is extensively customisable, allowing you to adjust grips, side switches, weight, and balance to suit your ergonomic needs and individual preferences.
  • Enhanced Performance: An updated chipset ensures superior accuracy and report rate. The new pen tip shape provides clearer visibility during drawing.
  • Battery-Free Design: Utilising Electro-Magnetic Resonance (EMR) technology, the Pro Pen 3 never needs to be charged, ensuring it's always ready when inspiration strikes.
  • Ambidextrous Support: A new vari-angle pen stand can attach to either side of the device, offering comfort for both right- and left-handed creators. The pen also has its own Pen ID to save settings.

2. Outstanding High-Resolution Display. The Wacom Cintiq features a 2.5K WQHD/WQXGA display that offers a' pixel-less" visual experience, ideal for detailed work and intricate creativity. This resolution is approximately 1.8 times higher than Full HD.

  • Natural Drawing Feel: The anti-glare etched glass reduces distracting reflections and provides a paper-like texture, enhancing the natural drawing experience. This surface is also more resistant to scratches.
  • Near-Zero Parallax: Direct bonding technology reduces the gap between the pen tip and the cursor, ensuring near-zero parallax for improved accuracy, making digital drawing feel as natural as on paper.
  • Expansive Workspace: The full-covered surface glass, extending edge to edge, allows for greater movement of your hands and arms, offering ample creative space.

3. Exceptional Colour Performance and Consistency. For projects requiring precise colours, the Wacom Cintiq delivers with exceptional colour performance.

  • Factory Calibrated: The displays come factory calibrated with multiple preset colour profiles ready to use out of the box.
  • Wide Colour Gamuts: It supports a broad range of colour spaces:
  • 100% DCI-P3 for media and entertainment (films and videos). The Cintiq 16 specifically supports 99% DCI-P3.
  • Preset Display P3 is practical for Mac and mobile environments.
  • 100% sRGB for web content and social media. Both the Cintiq 16 and 24 models support 100% sRGB.
  • Precise Colour Accuracy: Achieves precise colour accuracy with Delta E<2.
  • Consistent Creation Confidence: Users can trust their colour work due to consistent colour reproduction with calibrated profiles across different host devices and locations.

4. Designed for Comfort, Durability, and Efficiency. Wacom's decades of technology leadership are evident in the robust and user-friendly design of the Cintiq DTK168 / DTK246 / DTH246.

  • Built to Last: Made with durable, scratch-resistant materials and a rough texture for reliability in rugged use, ensuring long-term durability.
  • Ergonomic Design: An improved adjustable stand provides stability and a sleek appearance, allowing you to create at multiple angles that best fit your posture.
  • Space-Efficient: The compact body features a significantly reduced footprint with narrow bezels, enabling a larger canvas while occupying less desk space. It can be placed fully flat like a table or tilted as needed.
  • Cool and Quiet Operation: A fanless design conserves internal space, prevents dust ingress, and maintains a surface temperature cooler than skin temperature even after long hours of use, helping you stay focused.
  • Simplified Cable Management: Supports USB-C connection to minimise cable clutter. The Cintiq 16 can even be powered via a single USB-C cable (for compatible host PCs). Conventional HDMI and USB connections are also supported. Cables can be organised neatly with hidden slots at the back.

5. Seamless Compatibility and Connectivity. Wacom Cintiq provides universal and broader operating system compatibility, ensuring you can maximise and utilise the computing power and software on your desktop or mobile device. It is compatible with Windows 10 or later, macOS 13 or later, and Android 8.0 and above.
