DecoStudio, a new graphics and embroidery technology ideal for users in the apparel and promotional items industries, went down an absolute storm during the three days, with the hourly demonstrations really drawing the crowds.

"The response was phenomenal," said Wilcom's CEO Martin Kristiaman. "There really is nothing else like this on the market and the general feeling is that this is a really exciting development for an industry that, relatively speaking, hasn't changed much in recent years."

Offering what it says is the industry's most comprehensive solution for multi-decoration design, DecoStudio offers the ease-of-use and full creative power of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite while delivering the digitising quality and flexibility of Wilcom ES. Effectively, it brings print and embroidery together, allowing the decorator to move between the two in one seamless workflow. DecoStudio allows designs to be layered with different techniques including screenprint, direct-to-garment, print embroidery, applique and more, making linear workflows a thing of the past.

DecoStudio is easy to use, while offering the flexibility and control embroiderers require for their custom designs and final stitched results, says Wilcom. This all-in-one design-to-stitch solution  intelligently determines the best stitch settings according to the fabric and garment types chosen. It also expedites the design creation process with automatic conversion from vector art to stitch. So there is no need for the decorator to already be familiar with the art of embroidery or digitising.

Nick Davies, Vice President and General Manager of Graphics and Productivity at Corel, said: "Traditional embroidery systems simply cannot match the flexibility, speed and simplicity offered by DecoStudio. Together with Wilcom, we are delivering a superior software solution to embroidery professionals and hobbyists that represents a significant leap forward for this market."
