“ It is an amazing, innovative development that the embroidery business was waiting for. For us, the Coloreel unit is a unique product as an addition to our range of machine brands. It supplies great opportunities and solutions in the modern world, with for example webshops who now can embroider designs with limitless colors and even full-color gradients,“ says Anton Pals at Pals Print & Screen, Coloreel distributor for the Netherlands and Belgium (Dutch-speaking part).
