Control your embroidery machine via a remote control tablet with the Tajima Sidekick by Pulse. You can create text, set up designs, and manage machines.
Autograph 2 is the latest upgrade to Pulse’s standalone software that is designed to enhance and speed up the process of designing embroidered monogramming and lettering for retail businesses.
Offered by Hirsch, some of the new features include the gathering of all essential functions in one tab for faster, easier access. There is a larger design area and a new fit-to-hoop option that automatically sizes lettering to fit within a specified space.
Users can now toggle between templates more easily, and the icons are larger to make it more functional in Windows 8. Fonts and thread charts have been updated, and you can easily create decorative borders for any text.
A real time saver is the templates, which eliminate the work of digitizing. Simply select a design and enter the text. Autograph also features powerful editing tools that allow you to align, transform, rotate, and resize designs to customer specifications.
The standard version of Autograph comes with 217 fonts, and there are a number of optional fonts that can be purchased. Doing special effects such as 3D foam or creating text with a drop shadow is a fast, one-step process. There also is a garment preview function that makes it easy to present a design for customer approval.
SGIA is now accepting entries for its prestigious Golden Image Awards Competition at the 2014 SGIA Expo (Las Vegas, October 22–24). This esteemed contest celebrates industry-leading excellence and covers almost every item, no matter how complex, created by specialty imaging.
All submissions will be displayed in the Golden Image Gallery, and will be judged on Tuesday, October 21. Competition winners gain international attention for their accomplishments.
“When personalization is done manually, data shows that at least 5% of the orders have errors, says Brian Goldberg, president, Pulse Microsystems, which developed Pulse ID and other software. “If we eliminate the human interaction, we can eliminate the errors completely,” he says.
