The Wacom display and stylus have become indispensable for the creative professional. Now we bring that same pen technology, quality of materials and technical know-how to those who previously yearned for it, but being early in their career may not have been able to afford Wacom's full range of professional features. We believe it is the perfect solution for budding creatives, but also for students, technical draftsmen in the fields of architecture, planning, industrial design or engineering, and even established creative professionals who want a second device for their office or studio. .

Thanks to Wacom's electromagnetic resonance method, there is no need to recharge or change the pen battery. The 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution display features 72% NTSC, a matte-treated toughened glass and a natural pen-on-paper feel. The Cintiq 16 features an attractive yet compact design, making it easy to incorporate into your work environment, and features a unique 3-in-1 cable connection that minimizes clutter.
