Wacom Cintiq 22 Drawing Tablet With HD Screen – 2023 Reviewed

The Wacom Cintiq 22 is the newest model in the company’s approach to making this popular digital art name a lot more affordable. Within Wacom’s overall output line of electronic design aides, many of which can be seen in our round-up of the most powerful drawing tablets, the Cintiq is a flat-screen layout for your computer, which you can carry on with the given stylus.

The Wacom Cintiq 22HD Touch gives novel stability between pen and multi-touch input. With multi-touch, the Wacom Cintiq 22HD Touch makes digital printing and drawing much more interactive and spontaneous. Rather than using just the pen and keyboard shortcuts to turn the form, you’ll be ready to use two fingers, putting your hands on the screen and enabling you to run more fluidly.

Utilizing Wacom’s patented electromagnetic resonance system, the pressure-sensitive pen input and the capacitive touchscreen are very active. Shifting between the pen and your fingers feels even with little to no lag.

Wacom Cintiq 22 Review: Display

The Cintiq 22 gives a full HD screen (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) – the exact screen resolution as the more modest Cintiq 16. That quickly means there’s an essential trade-off between the two: the Cintiq 22 provides you a physically bigger drawing area for more convenient, expressive arm movement while painting, but the screen image is less clear than on the Cintiq 16.

While the image on the Cintiq 22 is light delicate compared with other Cintiq models, it’s easy to work from – and in all other respects, the drawing experience is excellent. The larger size compared with the Cintiq 16 matters when you’re in an extensive drawing session: it saves you up to make more large pen strokes.

Pen Review

The given stylus, the Wacom Pro Pen 2, can capture your creative displays: it offers 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity and tilt sensibility, where the edge at which you hold the pen strikes the stroke. The stylus doesn’t require a battery unless: it uses the power it needs from the electromagnetic parts of the screen.

The same is right of the pen that comes with the rival Huion Kamvas Pro 22, but the more affordable XP-Pen Artist Display 22E Pro’s pen needs periodic recharging.

Wacom Adjustable Stand and Connections

A stand made into the Cintiq 22 allows you to tilt the display to your favored drawing angle. It’s a more reliable solution than in the Cintiq 16 or in Cintiq 13, which does foldable legs that tilt the show to a solid pitch.

While traditional drawing tablets without a show, like Wacom’s Intuos line, can work over a wireless Bluetooth link, that isn’t yet practical for a combined tablet and display. The Cintiq 22 uses USB-A for its design tablet connection, so you require an adaptor if your computer only has USB-C ports; and HDMI for its display link.

Drawing Surface

The Cintiq 22’s screen covering is well-considered. The anti-glare glass surface is covered to give it a slight texture, which provides a pleasant sense of bite as you run the stylus across it. 

The technology that allows the Cintiq 22 and similar design displays to operate means there are two planes you communicate with: the glass you draw on and the original screen presenting the image you’re painting. Too large a gap between the two leads to a disturbing disconnect within the point of your stylus and wherever your pen mark appears on-screen.

The Cintiq 22’s passage is quite acceptable, although you don’t get the almost spiritual sense of connection the forward optical bonding technology of a Cintiq Pro gives you.

Optional Accessories

The Wacom Cintiq 22HD Touch arrives with an added Grip Pen, the Wacom Cintiq model. You will also be able to buy a Classic Pen clearly, which is for users who favor a thin pen. The Inking Pen lets you draw your ideas on actual paper while taking a digital likeness of your design that you can import to your network via USB. The Airbrush Pen carries a finger wheel for an extra degree of control.

With the precise software provider, you will be capable of simulating genuine airbrushing. The Art Pen is a masterpiece agent that reports pen turn and the tip pressure, pen area, and pen angle to the application. You will be ready to simulate even brushes, markers, calligraphy pens, and other tangible media tools with a decent software provider.

Please see that while the Grip Pen is added with the Wacom Cintiq 22HD Touch, the Classic Pen, Inkling Pen, Art Pen, and airbrush pen are all sold individually. If you’re satisfied with the Grip Pen but have used down the nib, you can buy replacement nibs instead of having to return the entire pen.

Cross-Platform

The Wacom Cintiq 22HD Touch is fitted with both PCs and Mac. While the Wacom Cintiq 22HD Touch has plug-and-play functionality, it’s suggested that you install the drivers and download the handbook from the included installation CD.

While the Wacom Cintiq 22HD Touch is simple to install, it may take some chance to transition from using a Wacom tablet off-screen to painting on the screen itself. Take your experience to familiarize yourself with the buttons and multi-touch displays (both Wacom’s and the working system you’re using, whether Windows or Mac OS X or).

Professional Uses

The Wacom Cintiq 22HD Touch promotes the digital workflow for expert photography, art, and purpose. The Wacom Cintiq 22HD Touch offers a more direct way for photographers and designers to work by enabling users to draw, write, or edit right on the screen.

We discovered that long strokes served flawlessly, but short strokes took some getting accepted to. Likely, moving from a traditional Wacom tablet to paint on the Cintiq 22HD Touch may face you with a learning curve. The Wacom Cintiq 22HD Touch owns all 2,048 levels of pen pressure sensitivity, providing for various stroke depths and strengths. We also got the touch strips on the back to be quite helpful because we were ready to modify brush size on the fly without possessing to go into settings. We also noticed that specific multi-touch displays facilitate navigating the workspace and kept our fingers on the screen, not fumbling around for the keyboard. Overall, the Wacom Cintiq 22HD Touch can make life more comfortable for expert photographers, graphic designers, and experts.

Summary

However, the Cintiq 22 still has a stabler overall feel, with excellent build quality in both the display and the pen. You have to weigh up the quick gain of lower prices against the longer-term interests of the Cintiq 22, just feeling a little more pleasant to work with.

It’s a style that may not wash with the Cintiq 22’s target audience of scholars, keen non-professionals, and jobbing writers. As valuable as the Wacom Cintiq 22 can be, I’m left with a feeling that the days of corded design tablets are added.

If Wacom competes in a class of iPads that can act as second monitors, their tablets agree to need to be smaller and wireless. Until then, the Cintiq 22 is a great and (somewhat) affordable device that can help you do digital illustration or photo retouching using your desired desktop app.
