  Intuos Pro Paper  I have always preferred sketching on paper rather than in Photoshop. I could always just scan drawings, but with the Intuos Pro Paper Edition it takes out the middleman completely. The ease at which you can press the Intuos dial and have it upload to the Inkspace app is great, especially when you are making multiple ideations or don’t have a scanner available. Technically, all the new Intuos Pros are “Paper ready” and Wacom offers the ‘Paper’ part of the edition at an additional $50, which includes the Clip to hold paper, a small stack of...

Cintiq Pro 16   I’ve posted reviews of the new Cintiq Pro before, but here I’ll try to be more critical comparing it to the iPad Pro. Of course the most obvious downside is that you need a computer to hook up to. It shouldn’t be an issue since you have the option to get a MobileStudio Pro instead, but when comparing to the iPad Pro, it is a negative.

Cintiq Pro 16  Using the Cintiq Pro 13” this year, I didn’t think it could get any better. But after getting my hands on the 16”, I have to say I want one today and wish it came out sooner!

It’s a bit pricier than the 13” but it’s bargain compared to the 22 or 27HD if you’re on a budget want something portable.  And just like the previous 13”, the 16” is extremely...

After using the Cintiq Pro 13” from Wacom’s new line-up, I’d have to say it’s a great go-between when thinking about either getting a tablet or large Cintiq.  I’ve been using it for a couple months now since pre-ordering, and it’s pretty awesome! Being a student, I don’t have the budget for a 27” Cintiq, so the 13 or 16” is a great compromise on cost and versatility. I’m able to take it to school, travel, or comfortably fit it on my home desk.  The form design that mimics the 27” Cintiq is sleek and really attractive. Plus, the new...
