INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
The Wacom ® Cintiq ® 12WX interactive pen display combines the benefits of a Liquid Crystal Display
(LCD) with the control, comfort, and productivity of Wacom’s cordless, battery-free pen technology.
This gives you a direct pen-on-screen interface for your computer.
The basic components of your Cintiq include a Wacom pen tablet internally mounted behind a TFT
color display, and the Wacom Grip Pen.
Cintiq comes with an integrated display stand, enabling you to use the pen display flat on your desk or
at an incline. Your pen display also includes a rotation pivot, enabling you to rotate the display as you
work.
