Virtual Printable Embroidery with Wilcom’s EmbroideryStudio

An alternative revenue stream!

Embroidery is a unique, high-quality, premium decorating process that elevates any product to another level. However, embroidery is not the best decorating process in ALL cases. Contributing factors are lightweight t-shirt fabrics, low order quantities, insane thread colour changes, or high digitizing and embroidery costs.

EmbroideryStudio e4.5 delivers impressive technology that offers an alternative to embroidery. Printable Embroidery!

The rise of Direct to Garment (DTG) and Direct to File (DTF) machines, such as the DTFMagic 60 sold by The Magic Touch, means many new opportunities exist for decorators. Making printing quantity-one affordable!
