ZSK Terminal– the starting signal for your embroidery production
ZSK TERMINAL is at your side, saving you valuable time when preparing existing stitch data for your ZSK machine.
Whether you embroider, punch or process orders – have one machine or an entire machine park, ZSK TERMINAL is super easy to use and takes care of stitch data preparation and machine allocation at every point in your workflow.

Design Stock - If you have a ZSK machine but no embroidery designs
Our mission is to provide you with a great starter kit with beautiful embroidery designs so that you can start producing with your new machine right away. Choose a design from a wide range of categories, depending on your individual order and occasion. Then select the appropriate colours, add text and send it directly to your machine(s).
Converter – prepare your stitch data
Do you receive finished embroidery files but not the right machine code? With the converter, you can convert your .dst files into ZSK code and adjust the colours to match your design. Define your current thread colours so you can select the right colours before loading the machine.
The converter allows you to:
- load your own .DST files,
- assign colours to each section in the .dst file,
- the provision of a .z00 file that corresponds to the current colour assignment on your machine,
- the changing of colours in an existing .z00 embroidery file,
- the provision of a .z00 file for adding text in ‘EasyText’

Choose:
