Digitizing Tablets

Digitizing Tablets

An input device that enables you to enter drawings and sketches into a computer. A digitizing tablet consists of an electronic tablet and a cursor or pen. A cursor (also called a puck) is similar to a mouse, except that it has a window with cross hairs for pinpoint placement, and it can have as many as 16 buttons. A pen (also called a stylus) looks like a simple ballpoint pen but uses an electronic head instead of ink. The tablet contains electronics that enable it to detect movement of the cursor or pen and translate the movements into digital signals that it sends to the computer.

For digitizing tablets, each point on the tablet represents a point on the display screen in a fixed manner. This differs from mice, in which all movement is relative to the current cursor position. The static nature of digitizing tablets makes them particularly effective for tracing drawings. Most modern digitizing tablets also support a mouse emulation mode , in which the pen or cursor acts like a mouse.

Digitizing tablets are also called digitizers, graphics tablets, touch tablets, or simply tablets.

What is Digitizing

Any design can be embroidered, but first it needs to be converted into a format that is accepted and readable by the embroidery machine. That conversion process is called "digitizing." The digitized file tells the embroidery machine where, how and which colors to use while stitching. We provide that service, focusing on "sewability." We provide quality professional digitizing, completed quickly at the best price available... just $20 for up to 10,000 stitches.

Artwork File Formats Accepted for Digitizing

Reproducing a logo with accuracy and detail can best be done from line-art or vector files such as Illustrator(eps) or CorelDraw (cdr). Some other files also work well: PDF, TIFF, JPG etc. High resolution art works well, but may be difficult to transmit via e-mail, in that case it is best to upload directly to our web site.

If you have a poor resolution file, the digitizer must interpret and redraw the design. If vector art is not available, send what you are provided with and we'll advise you before we begin digitizing.

We currently accept the following graphical formats:
EPS, CDR, AI, PDF, JPEG, HPGL, TIFF, DXF, AutoCad
