OTTAWA & SYDNEY, Australia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Corel Corporation, a leading developer of graphics, productivity and digital media software, and Wilcom International, a leading developer of embroidery and decorations technology, today introduced the newest products resulting from their partnership: Wilcom EmbroideryStudio (ES) e1.5 and Wilcom DecoStudio© e1.5. Both products are based on the award-winning CorelDRAWÂź Graphics Suite technology and will be introduced during the industryâs first global online launch event, taking place today from 9 a.m. ET to 4 p.m. ET at www.wilcomdiscovery.com.
Designed to address the evolving requirements of the multi decoration and embroidery industry, EmbroideryStudio e1.5 and DecoStudio e1.5 offer both new and experienced designers in-product guidance to accelerate productivity. The software intelligently recommends underlay settings, pull compensation, and other parameters to the user depending on the fabric selected. As a result, experienced designers can more quickly and easily test designs on different fabric samples. For new users, this process dramatically reduces the learning curve and enables them to produce high quality results with minimal training required.
âBy combining the strengths of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 and the expertise of Wilcom, we are able to provide users in the embroidery and decoration market with an intelligent, integrated solution that will be a valued addition to their design workflow,â said Nick Davies, Senior Vice President, Graphics and Productivity of Corel. âWeâre pleased to expand our relationship with Wilcom in order to provide the embroidery industry with world-class solutions that enable users to pursue their creative ambitions and new revenue streams.â
New Releases Enable Faster Design and Production
Wilcom EmbroideryStudio e1.5 is the advanced product in Wilcomâs new Elements product range for professional multi-decoration. Building on ES 2006, the product features full integration with CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4, streamlining the embroidery workflow. Acclaimed as the professional embroidersâ choice, this new generation of EmbroideryStudio offers superior stitch quality, providing digitizers with a dynamic and fluid way of creating, visualizing and producing multi-decoration design.
Wilcom DecoStudio e1.5 integrates CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 with Wilcomâs renowned stitch processor, lettering, monogramming and applique tools to create a complete graphics and embroidery software solution. Wilcom ES 21 L, 21 E and 21 E+ have now been combined in DecoStudio e1.5. DecoStudio users can also upgrade seamlessly to higher levels of EmbroideryStudio. In addition, DecoStudio e1 customers are eligible for a free upgrade to DecoStudio e1.5 (excluding shipping and handling fees).
âWilcom is continually undertaking extensive research, looking at current industry trends, how our customers use software and the requirements for each different type of embroiderer and decorator – be it someone just getting into the industry, or someone whoâs been a professional digitizer for many years,â said Martin Kristiaman, CEO of Wilcom International. âIt was very clear that CorelDRAW Graphics Suite is by far the most popular graphics tool, and we feel that our new generation of software in partnership with Corel is truly the next milestone in embroidery history.â
