Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
With all the talk recently y Dan and his quest to find a good digitizer I thought I would post a pic of what quality digitizing can do. Below is a pic of the PGA logo digitized by Nike. We contract embroider for Nike and receive roughly a hundred plus logos a year from them. Their digitizers are top notch they simply are amazing when it comes to small lettering and detail, as some here probably know anything to do with golf has to be small small small. The logo below is tiny less than two inches total as you can tell by the quarter next to it. Proper embroider has to start with quality digitizing, if not then you are lost before you even turn the machine on. Of course you also have to have a nice tight machine running correctly and consistently head to head. Our current digitizer cannot digitize as well as below close but not quite, he is good for the basic stuff only when ever I need something done with small detail and lettering I use a much higher priced digitizer but well worth it. Or do it myself.
Brad I seen your work and I am confident your machine will run this just fine. My initial intention was to show how pre-press (embroidery machine) is just as important as any pre-press situation in screen printing. But obviously it still requires a tight machine and talented operators. We have to be able to run jobs like this other wise we would never have the type of clients we have. Nike is just one of many high profile clients we run embroidery for, not to mention some of the most exclusive and expensive golf courses in this country. Brad i will send you the file I guarantee it will run well for you.FYI we ran this logo on 600 Nike dri-fit polos very thin material we used tear away not cut away since it is one complete design not broken up.
