The Wacom Cintiq 21UX helps you create detailed and realistic-looking digital illustrations. It is a pressure sensitive digital display that allows an artist to use a grip pen and a screen that measures more than 2000 levels of pressure to create his or her masterpieces. Best of all, it is not hard to figure out how to use this product. People who have tried it say that it is easy to learn and that the instructions are largely based on intuition. And good news if you’re a Mac user—this display is compatible with both the Mac and the PC.
The Wacom Cintiq 21UX is in high demand among artists. Some manufacturers and retailers have a hard time keeping it on the shelves. When you purchase from Motion Media, however, you don’t have to worry. We offer an in-stock guarantee, and if you order from us before 4:00 PM PST, the product ships the same day. Here at Motion Media, we always have your back when it comes to new technology.
Right now, Motion Media is offering Wacom Cintiq 21UX at an incredible promotional price of $1999, which is $300 off the list price. But if you want one, order it now. These sophisticated graphics tools fly off she shelves faster than we can order them and there’s no telling how long we’ll be able to keep them in stock.
