Perfect Design Positioning – Fast, Easy, Repeatable!

Perfectly placed designs – every time, with no effort. That’s what EPS delivers.

Because we’ve received so many questions specifically about EPS, we want to summarize it all in one place: the EPS – Easy Positioning System from ZSK. 

The Challenge: Accurate Positioning in Embroidery and Heat Pressing

Accurately positioning designs, whether in embroidery or on a heat press, is crucial for quality, speed, and repeatability. In practice, this step is often time-consuming, error-prone, and highly dependent on the skill of the operator.

This is where EPS comes in.

With the EPS – Easy Positioning System, you achieve faster, error-free, and quality-assured production – even with untrained or changing staff.

EPS Pro Complete

The EPS – Easy Positioning System from ZSK embroidery machines is a revolutionary solution for embroidery machines and heat presses.

Fast, precise, and easy: EPS enables perfect placement of your designs without labor-intensive manual adjustments.

How EPS Works

• Visual Support via Projection
  Guidelines, grids, or even the entire design are projected directly onto the textile.

• Error-Free Repeatability
  Positions can be saved and reused exactly for subsequent jobs.

• Easy Operation
  No prior knowledge required – the system guides users intuitively through the process.

• Maximum Efficiency
  Significantly reduced setup times and higher production speed.

Compatibility & File Formats

The EPS HoopStation supports the following embroidery file formats:

DST – Universal | Z00 – ZSK | EXY – ELTAC | JEF – JANOME | PCS – PFAFF | PES – BROTHER, BABYLOCK, BERNINA | SEW – JANOME, ELNA, KENMORE | VP3 – HUSQVARNA | XXX – SINGER, COMPUCON | TBF – Tajima | U00 – BARUDAN

Note: Certain functions, such as moving the design within the hoop, are only available with the .Z00 format. For optimal workflow, we recommend using Z00.

Two Versions – One Goal: Perfect Positioning

• EPS HoopStation – for embroidery

• EPS BOW – for heat presses

EPS HoopStation – Perfect Embroidery Placement with Projection

The EPS HoopStation is designed for seamless integration into ZSK embroidery machine workflows and works with the HoopMaster / Mighty Hoop System.

Key Benefits:

• Design Projection
  Load embroidery files (.DST, .Z00) and see the design directly on the textile.

• Precise Alignment
  Use grids, rulers, and markers – ideal for pockets, plackets, or seams.

• Save & Repeat
  Save job-specific guidelines and positions for repeat orders.

• Barcode Workflow
  Automatically recall saved positions by scanning the embroidery hoop in the ZSK machine.

• Automatic Hoop Recognition
  Magnetic Mighty Hoop frames are visualized directly in the EPS software.

Simple as that: Insert the hoop, scan the barcode, start embroidery – precise every time, whether for 1 or 1,000 items.

EPS BOW – Optimized Efficiency for Heat Presses

The EPS BOW is ideal for companies working with heat presses that require the highest precision and repeatability.

EPS BOW Features:

• Project designs directly onto the heat press

• Guidelines, grids, and color markers for exact placement
