I'll take that to mean you have Spyder2PRO for display calibration. Cintiq tablets profile quite nicely, I don't think that you will find the touchscreen layer to effect the screen calibration.

Is a Cintiq 12" tablet a monitor? Even if the tablet does display the image on its tablet surface rather than on or in addition to on a display monitor, I doubt if it supports color management since the space is often seen as editing space in the sense of cropping, adding or subtracting elements from the image, cleaning up the image, etc. and not in the sense of color correcting and adjustment for display output or printing.

Hi Laurie,
You are thinking of the Cintiq as a tablet; its actually a full-featured, high quality LCD display, with a pressure sensitive touchscreen overlay, and an angle adjustment system behind, to lower it for tablet use, or raise if for monitor use. So its fully functional as a color managed display, whether you are using it's tablet functions or not.

Thanks CD! Of course you are right; I was thinking of it as similar to a Waco0mdrawing tablet which offers a display on the drawing board of the digital image that appears on the monitor display desktop. I realized that after I read your original reply. I keep forgetting about such things as notebook tablets that this appears to be.
