November 29, 2005 — The new Intuos3 6x11 pen tablet from Wacom is specifically designed for photographers, designers and artists who are using multiple monitors or a widescreen display. With an active area that matches the aspect ratio of either a widescreen display or two standard displays used together, this innovative tablet features intuitive controls, a cordless, battery-free Grip Pen offering 1,024 levels of pressure, and an ergonomic five-button Intuos3 mouse.

The Intuos3 6x11 is an ideal companion for the Wacom Cintiq® interactive pen display (priced at $2499) that combines the advantages of an LCD monitor with the control, comfort, and productivity of Wacom's most sophisticated cordless, battery-free tablet technology. When used with the new Intuos3, the Cintiq 21UX lets users navigate seamlessly across multiple monitors (including the Cintiq) with a single pen.

Like all Intuos3 pen tablets, the new 6x11 model comes complete with Adobe Photoshop Elements 3 for digital photo editing, Corel Painter Essentials 2 for creating natural media art, nik Color Efex Pro 2 for selectively applying photographic enhancements, and Wacom Brushes 2 for even more brush choices in recent versions of Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. The Wacom Intuos3 6x11 has a suggested retail price of $389.95. For more information, visit www.wacom.com.
