The Information Age

Digital Artists today use tablets to

create artworks; however, standard
tablets lack built in screens, have
to be connected to PCs which
causes delays in transferring
drawings from tablet to screen,
have limited pen sensitivity
features making detailed sketching
difficult.

Delays = Lost
Time +
Productivity +

CINTIQ COMPANION 2 Drawing

Tablet

The Cintiq
Companion 2 has
a built in high
definition (HD)
screen, so artist
no longer need
to lug around a
PC and tablet.

The Cintiq
Companion 2 has a
thinner and smoother
pen that is more
flexible when it
comes to creating
detailed drawings.

The Companion 2 is
more productive than
other tablets having a
4GB to 16 GB of RAM,
and a built in Processor
of Intel Core i7-4558U
CPU allowing fast
loading of graphics
software like Adobe
Illustrator.

2 Review
This thing is fast. Even on the
balanced power setting its
quick to respond to touch,
pen, etc. Ive used Clip/Manga
Studio, Adobe Photoshop CC,
Adobe Illustrator CC all using
touch gestures and all with
ridiculously large and complex
files and all with flawless
performance every time
