Wacom, the pioneer and leading innovator of digital pen technology, is launching a new Wacom One product line consisting of two creative pen displays and two pen tablets with extensive software offers and in-depth tutorials. Highlights include the customisable pen in 7 colour combinations and the first pen display in this category to feature multi-touch.
Built on Wacom’s 40 years of experience in the creative consumer, professional and enterprise sectors, the new Wacom One pen input devices are tailored specifically to the needs and expectations of creative beginners and productivity enthusiasts as well as anyone who wants to experience the fun and benefits of using a pen in the digital realm.
Wacom One – The Perfect Tool For Everyone
The Wacom One product line is all about choice and customisation. The new range includes the Wacom One S and Wacom One M pen tablets as well as the Wacom One 12 and Wacom One 13 touch pen displays.
Both pen displays with 11.6” and 13.3” glass screens respectively, feature a 1920 x 1080 full HD resolution with 99% sRGB and low parallax through the optical bonding of the displays for more control and precision.
The Wacom One13 touch is the first pen display in the compact entry level category to feature 10 finger multi-touch gestures offering users a whole new dimension of intuitive use and interaction.
The Wacom One S and M are the first entry level pen tablets with 4K pressure sensitivity that support tilt for calligraphy effects. The customisable pen features 2 side switches for increased productivity and comes in various colour options to choose from.
The shared Wacom UD pen technology allows seamless use of the same pen throughout the series while securing compatibility with Wacom enabled pens from renowned stationery brands including Staedtler (Wacom One displays only), LAMY, or Dr. Grip to reflect personal preference – an industry first in the pen tablet segment.
The Wacom One pen tablets and displays are highly versatile and can be used with Windows, macOS, Android and ChromeOS – and connecting them is in many cases as easy as plug and play via a single USB-C cable connection.
Optional HDMI cables are available where needed. The added Bluetooth connectivity for the Wacom One S and M tablets plus the slim design (just 11.5mm thick displays and 7.9mm thick tablets), lightweight and compact footprint of all four devices make the entire Wacom One series a highly mobile and portable solution.

Sustainability, Prices And Availability
The Wacom One pen tablets and displays are the most sustainable products Wacom has offered to date. Petroleum-derived plastics were reduced or replaced with Polylactic acid bioplastic material (PLA) and the use of post-consumer recycled plastics (PCR) increased to approx.
30-65% of the products’ plastic materials, while fulfilling Wacom’s high standards in the durability of the products. The minimised footprint and packaging reduce the impact of transport and logistics, while the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified paper material and flexographic printing with organic and water-based ink makes the packaging more sustainable.
Wacom One will be available this August on the Wacom eStore and select resellers for the following recommended retail prices:
Wacom One 13 touch pen display Standard model for $999
Wacom One 12 pen display Standard model for $649

In addition to the standard models available in select resellers, the Wacom eStore is offering an option for customers to purchase the display or tablet only.
