Excellent color quality displays, and color managed workflows are essential for professional artists, designers, and editors. The fast-paced rate at which creatives must work requires that color is done right the first time, every time. There is often no room in the schedule for multiple adjustments and re-editing. In addition, geographically dispersed teams and virtual production pipelines require the highest quality tools to achieve consistent and reliable color across all devices and applications in the workflow. And of course, all creatives want the colors that they see on their displays to faithfully replicate their final output in print, web, video or a physical product. If color is important to you, the Wacom Cintiq Pro 17, 22, and 27 are the ideal foundation upon which to build your creative workflow.
Whether you’re a photographer, illustrator, animator, video editor or designer, you (and your eyes) need a display of the highest quality to assure that you are productive and can create and deliver you very best work. Read on to understand why the new generation of Cintiq Pros provides creatives with all new levels of performance and productivity and can even save the cost of a secondary color reference monitor.
10-bit color
As opposed to 8-bit displays which are only capable of showing 16 million shades of color, Cintiq Pro 27 is a 10-bit display, and when used with compatible computers and applications, is capable of showing more than 1 billion shades of color. This higher bit depth is desirable in many workflows, giving a greater sense of depth, smoother transitions and blends.
100% sRGB and Rec 709 coverage
sRGB and Rec 709 are smaller color spaces than Adobe RGB, but it is important to have complete coverage for web and traditional broadcast content.
99% Adobe RGB Coverage
Cintiq 27 Pro offers coverage for nearly the entire Adobe RGB spectrum commonly used in most graphic design and illustration applications.
98% DCI-P3 coverage
DCI-P3 is the standard for Cinema and at 98%, the Cintiq Pro 27 covers nearly the entire space.
Factory calibrations
For Rec 2020, EBU, and SMPTE-C, and preset modes for PQ (DCI and Rec. 2100) and HLG (Rec. 2100) are available for viewing HDR content.
Color accuracy of Delta E < 2
Displays with lower Delta E produce more accurate colors without color distortion, while also ensuring there is no color difference between the Cintiq Pro and other calibrated displays. With factory calibrations having a Delta E of <2 color deviance should be Indistinguishable between any accurate color managed displays. For professionals who work on one monitor and review on another, accurate and consistent color reproduction is key.
Creatives have long trusted the Pantone system (PMS) for color reproduction across a wide range of uses such as graphics, packaging, branding fashion and industrial design. Not only are the new generation of Cintiq Pros Pantone Validated, but they have also received Pantone SkinTone Validation which meets the Pantone standard for displaying the entire range of skin tones in the Pantone system.
While the new Cintiq Pros have exceptional color performance, they can be calibrated using the Wacom Color Manager (WCM) to maintain its accuracy throughout the life of the product. The WCM software works not only with the WCM device, but also with other compatible calibrators. The WCM software will support the following products:
If you own any of the above products, you may download the WCM software from our download page for use with your device.
The choice of photographers wanting to see and edit every detail of their work or for video editors editing content destined to be viewed on 4K displays, 4K resolution is at the core of the Cintiq Pros’ display capabilities.
The Cintiq Pros have near-zero imagery and pen latency for an uninterrupted creative experience. The Wide Gamut IPS displays allow for the best color and viewing angles for immersing yourself in the screen. Also, when you are done working, the display makes a great gaming display!
The brightest displays Wacom has ever made, the Cintiq Pros let you view your images and videos with extreme accuracy and vivid colors.
The new Cintiq Pros are equipped with HLG (hybrid log-gamma) and the PQ (perceptual quantization) curves for displaying and editing HDR (high dynamic range) video content.
Preset modes for DCI-P3 and Rec. 2100 ensure you can work in the appropriate color spaces and gamma values. In addition, preset modes for PQ (DCI and Rec. 2100) and HLG (Rec. 2100) are available for viewing HDR content.
The etched glass surface of the Cintiq Pros not only provides a pen feeling that replicates working with the natural touch of paper, but it provides a matte finish to the display. Unlike high gloss screens which distort perceived color values and cause annoying reflections, the Cintiq Pros’ matte finish simulates real world color more closely, supporting critical color matching.
