Standard Fonts True Type Fonts

DG/ML also allows for various configurations of characters regardless of the font chosen. Straight, curved or free flowing lines of type can be positioned on any base line, allowing for full integration of type, and enhancement of any design.

Virtually any configuration of type can be achieved... ...and integrated into any design.

Special typography effects such as Drop Caps and type transformation can be achieved by selecting designated characters within a word and emphasizing them (scale up/down, rotation etc.) giving you even more unique designs using type.

Drop Cap Type Transformation

Other languages that use unique character sets such as Hebrew, Russian, etc. are also available with DG/ML giving you the ultimate flexibility in today's global marketplace. For example, Japanese characters provide a unique set of challenges that DG/ML handles expertly. There are hundreds of English boys and girls first names as well as family names that can be installed as accessories. These translate into Japanese character design (Katakana, Hiragana, kanji) to give you oriental design names that can make your t-shirt or cap designs seem exotic and mysterious. The names are created as individual designs and can be edited or combined as you like until it is saved as a design and then it is locked into the design.

Flexible and Expandable Embroidery Network
Tajima DG/ML Software by Pulse provides a dynamic Plug & Play LAN connection function, supported by Tajima's new embroidery machines, vastly improving the existing embroidery machine network connection functionality.

Example of Designs Distributed Throughout Network

Now, aerated and edited designs are quickly transmitted to the machines, proving for easy and immediate transmittal to the production process, greatly improving efficiency. This almost instantaneous design transmittal holds true even if you have many designs or change them frequently.
One computer running Tajima DG/ML by Pulse can manage a single or multiple embroidery machines, sending the same design to all embroidery machines or separate designs to individual designated embroidery machines simultaneously... all viewable on the DG/ML Screen, so managing even the most complex production shop is a breeze. If you use the Clustering function, you can divide the machines in your shop into various groups and assign the same design to each group, for even more production efficiencies.
Because DG/ML is designed specifically for Tajima equipment, the LAN embroidery network adopts Tajima's TBF format. This format contains many command functions of Tajima embroidery machines, dramatically reducing the time and effort to manage settings and operations of the equipment. For example, there is no need to set the color change sequence by reviewing the worksheet very time a design changes. Instead, DG/ML allows color change sequence to be set only by specifying certain threads on individual embroidery machines,

For example, there is ne need to set the color change sequence by reviewing the worksheet every time a design changes, Insted, DG/ML allows color change sequence to be set only by specitying certin threads on individual embroidery machines, without any other unnecessary settings.
DG/ML also allows the use of bar cords to search for specific designs to be sewn on specific machines, saving labor and time for the embroiderer. The bar code reader connects directly to a Tajima machine and by reading a bar code printed on the worksheet, the specified design sent from DG/ML by Pulse can be implemented immediately. This also work with multiple designs, in predetermined sequence, greatly increasing productivity.
