Wilcom and Corel Introduce DecoStudio®

Wilcom International, a leading developer of embroidery and decorations technology, and Corel Corporation (NASDAQ: CREL; TSX: CRE), a leading developer of graphics, productivity and digital media software, today introduced DecoStudio®, a revolutionary new graphics and embroidery technology ideal for users in the apparel and promotional items industries, as well as embroidery hobbyists. Offering the industry’s most comprehensive solution for multi-decoration design, DecoStudio offers the ease-of-use and full creative power of CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite while delivering the digitizing quality and flexibility of Wilcom ES.

With DecoStudio, users can effortlessly combine embroidery and print, moving easily between vector art and embroidery elements, while keeping everything in one file for production purposes. In addition, designs can now be layered with different techniques including screenprint, direct-to-garment, print embroidery, applique and more, making linear workflows a thing of the past.

“For over 28 years Wilcom has lead the industry with innovations in quality embroidery software technology,” said Martin Kristiaman, CEO of Wilcom International. “After surveying our vast user base, we discovered that CorelDRAW was by far the most popular graphics tool for the print and embroidery industry worldwide, so we are truly excited about our partnership with Corel. We believe DecoStudio is a new milestone that benefits the multi-decorations industry and makes it easy for users to visualize and design a creative mix of garment printing, embroidery and applique.”

DecoStudio delivers an unprecedented level of ease-of-use while offering the flexibility and control embroiderers require for their custom designs and final stitched results. This all-in-one design-to-stitch solution simplifies the user experience by intelligently determining the best stitch settings according to the fabric and garment types chosen, ensuring a high-quality result every time. It also expedites the design creation process with automatic conversion from vector art to stitch.

“We are proud to partner with an industry leader like Wilcom in providing the embroidery market with a powerful tool that vastly improves the user experience and provides a more efficient way to complete design projects,” said Nick Davies, Vice President and General Manager of Graphics and Productivity at Corel. “Traditional embroidery systems simply cannot match the flexibility, speed and simplicity offered by DecoStudio. Together with Wilcom, we are delivering a superior software solution to embroidery professionals and hobbyists that represents a significant leap forward for this market.”

“DecoStudio represents one of the most important advances in embroidery technology in years and delivers incredible value,” said Craig Mertens, President of Digital Art Solutions. “With DecoStudio, it is now possible for anyone, regardless of experience, to produce high-quality digitized graphics. DecoStudio adds a powerful and user-friendly embroidery capability to our CorelDRAW-powered graphics system.”
