Different Angles
The Cintiq 21UX’s patented stand allows users to recline the pen display at any angle between 10 degrees to 65 degrees to match the users ideal working posture. In addition to reclining, the Cintiq 21UX can be rotated up to 180 degrees in either direction to take advantage of natural drawing movements or offer a different viewing angle. If desired, users can easily remove the Cintiq from the stand for use on a table top or to attach it to an articulating arm (not included) using the standard VESA mounts located on the back of the display. A new weighted pen stand is not only a convenient pen holder, but doubles as a handy twist-off storage compartment for pen nibs and handy nib removal tool. Standard, felt and stroke nibs are provided, allowing users to simulate the feel of working with a variety of traditional art and design materials.

Software
The Cintiq 21UX ships with software from several partners:

• Corel Painter Sketch Pad.
• Nik Color Efex Pro 3.0 WE6.
• Wacom Brushes 3.0 for 81 customized brushes for use with Adobe Photoshop CS+ and Photoshop Elements 4+.

Accessories

• The Art Pen supports the barrel rotation feature within such applications as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Corel Painter 11, allowing users to create natural brush effects by rotating the pen, much like a calligraphy pen. The Art Pen is newly designed and features a round barrel with two nib options, standard and chisel-tip.
• The Airbrush pen offers users a digital airbrush that has a similar form and wheel based control as a traditional airbrush. It provides creative, fun effects when combined with select applications.

Availability
The new Cintiq 21UX (DTK-2100) priced at US$1999 is intended to begin shipping in the USA, Canada and Mexico in late March or early April. The pen display is scheduled for launch in other Latin America countries in subsequent months.
