Digitizing is an Art and Digitizer is an Artist.

We all are used to of wearing different kinds of shirts and sweaters with certain patterns on them. Did you ever think about the reality that how these patterns have been made or how they are produced on the shirt? They are produced on the shirts through proper processes and expertise. Currently with the improvement in technology they are produced with the help of computer and software. And for using this technology expertise is required on certain level. These persons are called as digitizers. They have got relevant experience and training for producing the patterns on the clothes. In this part of process aesthetic sense of a person matters a lot.

We can say that digitizers are basically the artists and these are the artists whose tools are accessible in the type of hardware and software. They have got the screen as the canvas for presenting their ideas and the mouse of the computer and keys are their brushes. The computer is further connected to the embroidery machine that is producing their designs in the form of reality visible and touchable to the eyes and by the hands. All difference that is made is due to the creativity of the person and if person has good expertise and creativity then he or she could be able to produce the best eye catching results.

Sometimes companies that are producing the embroidered materials are quite conscious enough for choosing the right person for their work. It is quite dependent on the type of experience that a digitizer has got. Because it is quite common that a person who is involved with some company that is producing the embroidered t-shirts or shirts then designer in that would have not much experience with other clothes. Similarly, a person living in the cold area would have the experience of designing the patterns for sweaters and not for light clothes and vice versa. So, person is hired dependent on their experience and their expertise and the requirement of the company. For persons seeking the career in this field, must be creative and must be able to take decisions according to the situations and the demands of the work and organizations. Briefly, we can say that it is the job type of an artist but in the electronic form and with a bit advance tools. So, just go ahead pick up your tools and start producing the best ideas gathered in your brain with little of training and help.

A person who calls himself/herself as a good digitizer professional should be a person who will be able to assist you along as you strive to attempt to look good to your prospective customers. A good digitizer knows what it takes to make your designs look best for any particular type of fabrics. Therefore, first, the digitizer should in position o ask questions appertaining to; the type of fabric that the design will be sewn on, the format that he design should be finished in. the digitizer should also ask whether you will be using the designs for application types and if there is any possibilities that you will increase or decrease the original design size.

There are many other facts that the professional will want to find out but the simplest thing consider is to make sure that the digitizer knows the production system so that you don’t incur too much trims and color changes during the subsequent stages. The fact is that you should make sure the digitizer sews out all the designs you want before they are sent to you. This is sometimes problematic when dealing with some digitizers such as graphic artists who assume that they are able to digitize any form of work of art by relying on the fact that they can come up with any form of graphic art.

You can find the best digitizer for the sales representative whom you bought your embroidery design software form. The sales rep should be in position to advise you on the best digitizer you can get from your town.

The cost of the digitizer service varies from one digitizer to another but there are fundamental factors governing the prices of the services. Sometimes it depends on the amount of time the design takes t be sent to you or how complicated the design is. A good digitizer should give you a choice and create the designs based on a standard scale. This is to mean that if you want more details you will pay more according to the scale. Color blending is another factor that may increase the cost of the process but it is advisable to beware of a digitizer professional who charges too low prices. This is because his quality may be questionable and you won’t risk your designs for a trusted customer on such a digitizer.

The reason why I emphasize that the digitizer you sent your designs to must sew out the designs is simple; many digitizers charging low fees do not even own embroidery machines. The designs purchased from such a digitizer may end up having a lot of issues and this may cost a great deal of money and time afterwards. At the end you will incur more production cost and customers might start complaining because of delays in delivering your products and do not forget that the customer will also be charged the digitizing fee and he will definitely have issues with your products.
