Come and say Gday at the Wacom stand at Supernova.

The Best investment I ever made was buying a Wacom. It has increased my productivity by over 100%!

I use a Wacom Tablet for all my artwork for the Sunday Mail, my Cartoon Art lessons, my Graphic Novel, Design work for clients, 3D design, even when simply browsing the 'net!

The Intuos4 Medium (5.5x8.8 inch active area) is Wacom's Brand new tablet designed for the professional Graphic Designer, Video Editor or Digital Creator.


Save your wrist and prevent RSI with a Pen tablet, which is so much easier to use than a mouse and provides the feel of drawing on paper but with the HUGE benefit of a digital environment!

Within minutes of using Intuos4, you will feel the difference. Intuos4 achieves the most natural pen experience possible with the introduction of Wacom's new Tip Sensor.
One of the revelations achieved by this new Tip Sensor is that pen activation starts at just 1 gram of pressure!
This means that you can start painting and drawing with a feather light touch.
And, this new technology has been improved to continue to deliver consistently over time, meaning your pen will feel and perform the same way throughout its life.

The saying "Different strokes for different folks," certainly holds true. Some artists like the feel of a soft bristled paintbrush. Others, like myself, prefer the harder texture of a pencil or felt pen.

For digital content creators, the tablet is their canvas that makes everything possible. The Intuos4 "canvas" offers unmatched control that cannot be realized in the analog world. While working in your favorite drawing application, switch to Precision Mode and you will be able to use broad strokes that translate into a smaller working area. The result is pinpoint accuracy and the ability to introduce details that cannot be achieved in the regular mode.

The enhanced control with Intuos4 also extends to your monitor. For the many users with multiple monitor set-ups, Intuos4 features a convenient Display Toggle function that can switch monitors at the push of a button. Each monitor can take advantage of the tablet's full active area and can be mapped individually. Instead of having to divide your tablet's active area across more than one monitor, each monitor can enjoy a one-to-one relationship with your tablet with absolute positioning.

Display toggle functionality is not the only convenient monitor control. Supporting the ambidextrous industrial design, the tablet to monitor orientation can be changed quickly and easily. This handy feature allows for the ExpressKeys to always have the correct orientation for both right-handers and left-handers. But that is not all. The same control panel setting allows for easy switching between landscape and portrait modes. With Intuos4, you are in complete control.

NEW 2 048 pressure levels
Intuos4 doubles the levels of pressure sensitivity from 1024 in Intuos3 to 2048 levels, which together with the new Wacom Tip Sensor design, provides unsurpassed pen control and sensitivity. Now, the Intuos4 allows you to control software tools like exposure, brush width, eraser size and opacity even more finely than before by changing how hard you press the pen to the tablet surface.

Reduced activation force...
The minimum activation pressure has been reduced from 10g to less than 1g. This was a top rated feature request from many users.

NEW Precision Mode
New Precision Mode function where the whole tablet suddenly represents a portion of the screen instead of the whole screen can be accessed at the touch of an ExpressKey for improved pixel-level control.

Tilt
All Intuos4 tablets and pens recognise tilt angles of up to 60° - important for realistic paintbrush simulation and the creative use of controllable tool tip width.

Display Toggle
The display toggle offers increased flexibility in multiple monitor environments and allows you to easily switch between screens.

NEW Design
Intuos4 tablets feature a new, thinner, ergonomic 'digital craft' design that can be optimised by the customer for left and right handed users. They also provide new ambidextrous user mode that eliminates risk of accidental function activation by the non-dominant hand (I love this new function) and a new surface texturing enabling smooth, consistent strokes even over long periods of time.

NEW Grip Pen
Discover the new cushioned, ergonomic pen with the look and feel of an elegant writing tool for maximum comfort and control. Packaged with four different nib styles, the pen gives you a choice for a natural pen-on-paper feel. A 'thick bodied' replacement pen grip is included for those preferring a thicker grip on their pen.

NEW ExpressKeys
Intuos4 offers a new ExpressKeys layout and functionality with a programmable Touch Ring that makes scrolling, zooming, brush size selection, canvas rotation and layer selection more efficient. 8 ExpressKeys all easily and ergonomically accessible by the non-dominant hand.


NEW Radial Menu
Intuos4 tablets feature a new, fast and easy to use customisable menu capability to effectively manage custom functions and short cuts.

For Designers;

"It’s an essential tool for designers" – Muhamad Musa, Research & Development Division, Daihatsu.

For Photographers;

"I use my Wacom pretty much everyday to make revisions to my
images. It is a lot like working in an electronic
darkroom, and I find it to be an essential part of the process. And, a
pen tablet is a lot easier to use than a mouse." - Alain Yip, professional photographer.

For Artists;

"The pen tablet is no longer a novelty item, but a necessity, an
essential tool for artists. It is digital, but there is virtually no
difference between the touch of a conventional pen. Wacom is the only one that has
created a product with the ability to reproduce the feel of a
conventional pen. I don’t know a single manga artist, animator,
illustrator and any other professional who uses something besides a
Wacom to draw. Anyone who wants to become a manga artist needs to have one to work in the contemporary manga industry." - Mitsuro Fujimoto, award-winning manga artist.
