The latest Android update for the Wacom MovinkPad series enhances creative workflows by connecting ibisPaint X, Wacom Canvas, and Wacom Shelf, while introducing a complimentary 180-day ibisPaint Prime Membership.
TOKYO, Dec. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Wacom today released a new Android update for the Wacom MovinkPad series that introduces ibisPaint X as a pre-installed app and deepens the integration between Wacom Canvas, Wacom Shelf, and ibisPaint X — one of the world's most popular illustration platforms — enabling creators to move seamlessly between sketching, editing, and managing their artwork.
Wacom's MovinkPad series continues the company's vision of portable, all-in-one creative pads for drawing anywhere. The series includes the Wacom MovinkPad 11, introduced in mid-2025, and the Wacom MovinkPad Pro 14, launched in October. These standalone pen displays combine Wacom's signature pen technology with a built-in Android environment to deliver a complete, PC-free drawing experience.
On both devices, users will be able to open sketches created in Wacom Canvas directly in ibisPaint X or view ibisPaint X project files within Wacom Shelf. Wacom Shelf now supports IPV, the native ibisPaint X format, in addition to JPG, HEIC, PNG, CLIP, BMP, WEBP, and TIFF, allowing users to browse and organize their creations more intuitively. These improvements reflect Wacom Canvas and Wacom Shelf optimization for ibisPaint X, designed to make creative workflows even smoother.
With over 500 million downloads worldwide, ibisPaint X stands as one of the most recognized digital art apps globally.
ibisPaint X will be added with the latest Android update on the Wacom MovinkPad 11, while MovinkPad Pro 14 users can update ibisPaint X, Wacom Canvas, and Wacom Shelf through Google Play.
"With the integration of ibisPaint X, the Wacom MovinkPad series will expand to enable even more diverse creative experiences," said Koji Yano, Senior Vice President, Creative Experience Unit at Wacom. "By connecting Wacom's creative ecosystem with vibrant art communities around the world, we believe we can offer new opportunities and possibilities for creative expression to even more people."
The update also introduces a complimentary 180-day ibisPaint Prime Membership for all Wacom MovinkPad users — both new and existing — giving them access to the full range of Prime features available through ibisPaint X. The Prime Membership removes ads, expands cloud storage to 20 GB, and adds access to vector tools, exclusive Prime Materials, apply Canvas Papers, Prim Fonts, and advanced filters such as Tone Curve and Gradation Map — letting users explore every detail of ibisPaint X right away.
"With ibisPaint now available on the Wacom MovinkPad series, users can enjoy a more intuitive and liberating creative experience than ever before," said Yuka Inoue, Section Manager at ibis inc. "We believe this freedom—to draw whenever and wherever inspiration strikes—will further expand the possibilities of artistic expression. We're also truly delighted to support creators on their creative journeys."
This update reflects Wacom's ongoing commitment to supporting everyone who loves to draw — from beginners exploring digital art to experienced illustrators seeking a portable, all-in-one device that adapts to their style and workflow.

Wacom Enhances MovinkPad Series with ibisPaint X Integration and 180-Day Prime Membership
APAC's leading enterprise CX platform enables large-scale, multi-country customer experience operations across the region, starting with Bahrain and Qatar
SINGAPORE, Dec. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Toku, Asia Pacific's leading AI-powered 360° customer experience platform, today announced its entry into the Middle East. A leading on-demand services enterprise operating across the region has selected Toku to power its contact centre operations, with the first phase now live in Bahrain and Qatar.
The multi-market deployment represents a significant validation of Toku's strategy to expand beyond Asia Pacific into other high-growth, complex regions. The phased rollout will take place across the Middle East and North Africa, with additional markets scheduled to go live progressively throughout 2026.
Why the Middle East, Why Now
The MENA region is a fast-growing contact centre market, driven by enterprises seeking cloud-native platforms that can navigate its diverse regulatory landscape and multilingual customer base. For on-demand services enterprises operating across multiple Gulf states, delivering consistent customer experiences while meeting local compliance requirements has become a critical competitive differentiator.
Toku's hybrid deployment model, which combines cloud flexibility with in-country processing for data sovereignty, proved decisive in winning the mandate. The platform's ability to integrate seamlessly with existing enterprise systems while supporting Arabic, English, and other regional languages addressed requirements that global incumbents have historically struggled to meet.
Thomas Laboulle, Founder and CEO of Toku commented, "Our first partnership in the Middle East demonstrates how our APAC-first approach has equipped us to succeed in markets with complex regulatory fragmentation, diverse infrastructure, and multilingual requirements. From Asia Pacific to Latin America, and now the Middle East, this is a strong testament to why complexity is Toku's competitive moat. We look forward to continuing to deliver meaningful value in markets that global incumbents often find too difficult to navigate."
A Proven Playbook for Complex Markets
The MENA expansion follows Toku's entry into Latin America, where the company deployed its Contact Centre solution across 15 Spanish-speaking countries. This pattern of winning large-scale customers in complex, multi-country environments underscores Toku's differentiated positioning: a composable customer engagement platform purpose-built for markets where one-size-fits-all solutions fall short.
Toku was recently recognised in the Frost Radar™: Customer Experience Platforms in Asia-Pacific, 2025 report and named in the 2025 Gartner Cool Vendors in Composable Customer Engagement Platforms report, validating its approach to enterprise customer experience in emerging markets. A comprehensive update on the deployment is expected upon completion of the regional rollout.
Platform Capabilities
Toku's modular 360° CX platform operates at the convergence of cloud communications, customer engagement, and enterprise AI:
- Embeddables: Programmable Voice and Messaging APIs that enable enterprises to embed communications capabilities directly into their applications and workflows
- Customer Engagement Solutions: Omnichannel Contact Centre with intelligent routing, enabling agents to deliver consistent service across all channels from a unified workspace
- Conversational AI Capabilities: The Core AI Suite, comprising Toku Transcribe, Toku Summarise, Sentiment Analysis, and Conversation Analytics, is purpose-built for complex multilingual environments
- Flexible Deployment: Cloud, in-country processing, or hybrid architectures to meet data residency and regulatory requirements
The platform integrates seamlessly with enterprise systems of record, including CRM, ITSM, and business intelligence platforms, enabling organisations to orchestrate customer journeys across all touchpoints.
