Wacom Black Friday deals 2018: what we expect

Are you already poised to snap up some creative and design bargains during Black Friday 2018? If so, we can't blame you. With the promise of discounts on popular tools, the shopping event is the best time of the year to pick up that device you've had your eye on for the last few months.

For digital artists looking to save money, the Wacom Black Friday deals are among the most hotly anticipated discounts. The premiere drawing tablets have made a name for themselves thanks to their market-leading precision and impressive screen sizes, but a premium product comes with a premium price tag.

And considering that the best cheap Wacom tablet deals don't come along all that often, a Wacom tablet Black Friday discount is a valuable opportunity for budget-conscious buyers to click 'add to basket'.

On this page you'll find out what we expect to see in terms of Wacom deals, where you can find the biggest savings, and which hot ticket items you need to keep an eye on. Let's dive right in!

How to get the best Wacom Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals

If you're on the lookout for a Wacom Black Friday deal, be sure to bookmark this page. As more concrete details about deals start to emerge, we'll be updating this page with the best offers on Wacom products. Another good place to keep an eye on is the Wacom Store itself, which is sure to promote its biggest discounts. Of course, other online retailers will also be getting in on the action with their own deals.

We've made it easy to keep track of what leading retailers are up to over Black Friday with our posts for the best Amazon Black Friday and Walmart Black Friday deals. Here you'll find notable Wacom Black Friday price cuts, plus news on other leading digital art tech. It's also worth keeping in mind the likes of Target and Currys, as they're sure to knock down the cost of their Wacom stock.

Remember, getting add-ons is a great way to save even more money, and refurbished models can be another way to bring the price down even further.

Wacom Black Friday and Cyber Monday: the deals we expect to see

Wacom Intuos Black Friday

Unsurprisingly, this is the question on the lips of designers looking for a Wacom Black Friday deal: which products will be cut in price? While we can't predict with 100 per cent accuracy, we can make an educated guess based on which products are currently on sale, as well as looking at what sold well last year and which models Wacom could be looking to clear in order to make room for updated devices.

To find out which products are currently on sale, be sure to check out Wacom's special offers page. Currently this page is mainly filled up with accessories and styluses, but over the coming weeks we're sure to see some more exciting products.

Another page worth remembering is Wacom's special offers page for refurbished products. With Wacom due to release new models in the near future, this could be a good place to snap up an superseded device for a rock bottom price, so long as you don't mind that it's been refurbished.

Speaking of current deals, at the minute Wacom is offering up to $300 off selected MobileStudio Pro models as part of its 35th anniversary celebrations. We've already looked at how the MobileStudio Pro brings, portability, power and excellent build quality to the table, so could Wacom reduce its price even further? (Read our full review here.)

The prospect of a Wacom Cintiq Pro Black Friday discount is another area we've got our eyes on. Just like the MobileStudio Pro, the Cintiq Pro 13 tablets are in on Wacom's birthday price-cut bonanza, with £200 slashed from the normal price. However, this family of products is set to expand soon with larger devices due to roll out. It's not unreasonable to imagine that Wacom could look to shift older stock in this line once these updated versions are ready.

Last year, the Wacom Intuos Pro Black Friday discounts proved to be the most popular offer, so it makes sense for Wacom to attempt to repeat this success. Other items that flew off the digital shelves include the Bamboo Slate and the accompanying Bamboo Sketch, so be sure to keep these in mind over the shopping season.

Wacom Cintiq on Black Friday

There's no telling whether Wacom's Cintiq Pro anniversary discounts will be taken further when it comes to Black Friday. Last year saw the cost of the Wacom Cintiq Pro reduced to a similar amount as Wacom is currently offering, so perhaps this is as low as the cost will go. Remember though that the Cintiq family is set to expand, so fingers crossed shoppers will be able to pick up existing models for a further reduced price.

Wacom Intuos Black Friday discounts

The Wacom Intuos family sits at the lower end of the company's price range, but that doesn't mean we can't expect to see the cost taken down even further. Acting as Wacom's perfect jumping on point for digital artists, a Wacom Intuos Black Friday discount would be a smart way for more creatives to get to grips with its products. Below are its current prices.

Wacom Intuos Pro on Black Friday: what to expect

The Wacom Intuos Pro Black Friday story is similar to the Cintiq Pro. Currently enjoying a reduced price to celebrate Wacom's 35th anniversary, the Intuos Pro could go either way over Black Friday. Unlike the Cintiq though, the Intuos family isn't set to expand, meaning that it would be less of a surprise if prices continued to budge.
