Xencelabs Unveils Pen Display 24+: The World’s First Drawing Display Featuring Calman Ready

Vancouver – WA August 6, 2025 – Xencelabs, the brand dedicated to empowering artists with premium, best-in-class digital drawing tools, announced the Xencelabs Pen Display 24+ launch today. Designed as “A New Choice for Creatives,” this groundbreaking display features Calman Ready support for simplified, color calibration. This industry-first feature for pen displays will deliver unparalleled color accuracy and hardware-level calibration that enhances workflow efficiency in professional industries such as photography, illustration, animation, visual effects, film and television production, gaming, industrial design, and other color-critical creative fields.

Another Industry-first from Xencelabs​
To address the need for color accuracy in the digital age, and to satisfy the requests from Xencelabs users, the Pen Display 24+ prioritizes color management for creative professionals who use drawing displays. By collaborating with Portrait Displays in California, the Calman Ready solution enables hardware-level auto-calibration via industry-leading Calman^® color calibration software. By storing calibration data (e.g., Look-Up Tables, or LUTs) on-device, creatives achieve consistent, Hollywood-grade color fidelity across departments and devices at all times.

Accurate Color, Simplified
The display calibration process is streamlined with Calman’s unique Xencelabs Calibration Workflow: users connect both the Pen Display 24+ and a compatible colorimeter to a PC or Mac^[1] running Calman^® calibration software, ensuring precise and automated panel calibrations to video and imaging  s such as Adobe RGB, DCI-P3, sRGB, Rec.709 (BT.709), and Rec.2020 (BT.2020). In addition, the  Pen Display 24+ also supports Pantone^®-validated palettes and SkinTone™-certified realism . With this newly updated compatibility, Xencelabs Pen Display 24+ makes a giant leap forward for professional creators working at film and animation studios, streaming giants, and design firms worldwide.

Beyond Color: A World-Class, Premium Drawing Experience​
The Pen Display 24 series provide a quality design and experience for your creative journey: 

• ​Pen-on-Paper Feel: The Super AG Etching™ glass surface provides optimal tooth, mimicking paper texture while eliminating glare and reflections, even under bright studio lights.

Two included v2 Pens, the 3 Button Pen + Eraser v2 and Thin Pen + Eraser v2, offer customizable shortcuts with 4 felt nibs and 6 standard nibs for tactile versatility. They are also compatible with Xencelabs Pen Tablet v2 Series.

• ​Virtual Tablet Mode™: Control multiple monitors/displays as one seamless canvas using just the pen. Draw, drag, and interact across screens effortlessly. Customize overlay color, transparency, size, and position to perfectly fit different software workspaces, delivering a smarter, more personalized workflow.
