Aimed at artists and creative individuals, the
Intuos Pro and Intuos Pro Paper Edition measure half an inch thick, are more
compact than earlier models, and use an anodized aluminum backing for strength.
Controls while using the tablet include multitouch with gestures, a TouchRing,
and eight ExpressKeys to use for command shortcuts.
Along with a new pen case and a smaller pen stand
with ten nibs, Wacom has included the Pro Pen 2, a stylus that offers 8,192
levels of pressure sensitivity, four times that of the previous Pro Pen. The
Paper Edition adds on top the ability to draw out a design on paper, while
digitizing strokes at the same time. For this, the Paper edition includes a
clip to keep the paper in place, and the Wacom Finetip Pen to draw with.
The Intuos Pro will cost US$ 349.95 for the medium-sized model, and US$ 499.95 for the large. The Intuos Pro
Paper Edition will cost US$ 399.95 and US$ 549.95 for medium and large, respectively.
The small Bamboo Folio is similar to the larger
model and the Bamboo Slate, but differs in size. The smartpad allows users to
draw or make notes on a pad of half-letter-size paper, which can then be
transferred to an iPhone or iPad over Bluetooth.
Up to 100 pages can be stored before needing to be
synchronized with a mobile device. The accompanying Inkspace app allows the
digitized images to be exported to various cloud services in a number of
different formats, including JPG, PNG, and PDF. Wacom's own Inkspace service
offers a free basic plan with 5GB of storage, which can hold over six thousand
pages of notes, though a paid plan is also available with a capacity of 50GB.
Available now, the small Bamboo Folio is priced at US$ 149.95. The Inkspace Plus subscription is US$ 2.99 per month, but is offered with
a three-month free trial.
