Digitizing

Runspeed,quality,absence of needlebreaks,minimal necessary underlays,correct densities,effective sequencing and pathing should all be taken into consideration...

1-Pricing All pricing is based on complexity rather than stitch count,and all estimates are mailed in advance. This moves away from StitchCount based quotes,saving you money. Average prices on corporate logos range from US$15-$75. I specialize in corporate work, but also do fashion designs. See link 'Samples' This is common information..but ask for a reference,and see what clients feel- email direct! 2- Turnarounds Turnarounds are generally within 12-24 hours,but dependent on my current workload. I don't really charge rush fees, but have been offered a bonus on occasion for returning a design in a hurry when someone's order is on the line.For me, its not all about the money...seeing little businesses grow makes me happy, and being able to assist someone that cant afford outlandish costs to look good,also makes me happy. I usually send a 'ready by' indication with the estimate,and as far as possible return by the specified time. There is the rare problem of storms,power outages or isp failure , but these are being overcome by new technology mobilephone capabilities. 3-Formats Artwork - I accept jpeg,tif,bmp,pcx,eps..but most commonly jpegs under 500kb. Embroidery - I transfer DST files due to the simplicity,reliability,and ability to hold high level data. EXP,CND,DSB also available,but I tend to avoid melco files due to transfer/re-encoding problems. 4-Designs I specialise in mostly corporate work now, but if you'd like to see a sample along the lines of something you need, please let me know. I do fashion design too,but not in the volumes done in the past 12 years..collectively approx 15000 designs. References: Please email me direct if you need the contact details of references.
