The Sprint 7XL combines the advantages of all the current Sprint machines with the possibilities of the even larger embroidery field of 1,400mm x 400mm. Suitable for the embroidery of large, bulky items such as golf bags and large flat textiles such as curtains and towels, the Sprint 7XL is the top model within the Sprint series. “With 18 embroidery needles, the slimmest tubular arm in the industry and a top speed of 1,000 stitches, the Sprint 7XL is a gamechanger for embroiderers, no matter their requirements,” says Stocks. “The Sprint 7XL is in a league of its own, with endless possibilities and the reliability of German design,” adds Andrew Stocks, director at Stocks. www.stocks.co.uk Stocks Embroidery Solutions: ZSK Sprint 7XL The new ZSK Sprint 7XL has a large embroidery field “After 40 years of creating world-leading embroidery software, Wilcom continues with a brand new update (e4.2) to its flagship EmbroideryStudio e4, further improving productivity for its users,” says the company. Now with 64-bit support, it promises “incredible speed improvements whilst making it more robust and powerful than ever before”. Stitch recalculations take seconds, reports Wilcom, even when working with resource-intensive, larger designs. “It truly harnesses the full power of modern PCs, something you need to experience yourself,” it adds. One addition is the interactive ‘home screen’. “When launching the software, all your recently opened designs are available for quick access,” explains Wilcom. “Valuable educational content is also presented to you, offering professional video tutorials, blog posts, top tips and much more. These will all help your team get much more out of the software and improve their skillset.” Increasing speed was foremost on the mind of the product team, explains the company. “They looked at every area of the software to squeeze out those valuable seconds. A great example is the ability to close all open designs in a single click.” It continues: “The ever important integration with CorelDraw Graphics Suite is still key. This makes EmbroideryStudio e4.2 a unique, all-in-one multi-decoration solution. You can import vector files and automatically convert them to embroidery in a matter of seconds, and importantly, everything is then stored in a single file. This is especially great if you also do vinyl, sublimation, screen printing or DTG.” To celebrate its 40th anniversary, Wilcom is giving away an additional 40 free fonts when purchasing or updating to EmbroideryStudio e4.2. www.wilcom.com
