Pulse Offers Peek at Plug-InJan 1, 2008
This first-ever Illustrator plug-in product would allow decorators who regularly work in Illustrator to digitize their vector artwork without having to learn "digitizing" software. The market for a sophisticated auto-digitizing plug-in would be people who use Illustrator to create art for screen making or direct inkjet garment printing, according to Preeti Suri, marketing manager for Pulse. These users would have a short learning curve to start doing their own digitizing. "These might be screen printers, embroiderers or promotional product distributors who may be outsourcing digitizing or [who] would be just getting into embroidery because this product would be so easy to implement," Suri said. The plug-in's pricing and release date had not been finalized at press time. Embroidery i2 works with Windows or MacOS versions of Illustrator and includes more than 100 embroidery fonts. The software allows decorators to assign stitch effects to new or existing vector files and adjust embroidery parameters before outputting a file that is ready to sew. Embroidery i2 also includes pre-programmed parameters for sewing on piqué, silks, fleece, jacket backs and other garments that can be difficult to digitize for efficient sewout. — T.M.
