My designs run well on my the happy, tajima and amaya . If one had to digitze specially for the Amaya that would make the Amaya an inferior machine in my books. A badly digitized design will run badly on every brand of machine. I would like to hear input from others who own other brands of machines including the Amaya. Anand As John has pointed out-this already digitized design is NOT well digitized and does NOT sew out well. Yes, a 'well digitized design' WILL run better on all machines-but a 'well digitized' design that is 'optimized' for an Amaya will run better on that Amaya, and most likely superior on other machines. The problem being with this design-that 'someone' thought it ran fine on their system-and it looks like garbage. Customer isn't pleased with it-and since John wants to put out a superior product, he wants to have it digitized for his Amaya. What's the big deal? I understand exactly what he is saying. I deal with garbage all day long from clients and even their 'media agents' that think they know how to do graphics simply because they are sitting in front of a computer that makes nice colors. Just because their logo looks 'perfect' on their computer does NOT mean it will work as the artwork I need to print their banner, or screen their shirts...and means I have to 'digitize' it for each one of my applications. Equipment specific digitizing-to get optimum results. Just 3 days ago after several phone calls and emails explaining what I needed for a ONE COLOR design for his bar glass imprints-my 'educated' client sends me the result...a 72 dpi jpg in EIGHT colors. To him, that is a one color image. Yup....1 color for the main outlines and larger areas-with 7 other shades or color fills. This design I've looked at for John has multiple outlines and shadows around 1/4" letters, 'shading' on 3/16" wide oval outlines, with back shadow behind those...no wonder it sews like mud!
