Beware of POWER STITCH

I think it is a shame on how you treated inkman996 with such disrespect and then go on to continue on here with it. FYI: I am an american digitizer for the past 17 years and not once did I outsource to anyone. I actually had other digitizers from other countries wanting to outsource to me. So, your theory isn't across the board.

I live in the Country of Texas.. so does that mean that American clients that use us are outsourcing?

This would have been a great opportunity for the digitizer to step up and amend some serious customer service mistakes and come out at least breaking even.. if not ahead if they played their cards right.

On the other hand it would have been nice if the customer had actually spoken to someone in the organization first to see if there was a weird disgruntled rep writing these emails before posting on a forum like this... but judging from the responses afterwards it would not have mattered so their posting would have happened anyway.

So which digitizer are you writing about?

EXACTLY why I made my post Mr. Young.......i was wondering the same thing?

Robert Young · November 18th, 2012, 11:03 AM

Yeah, he says "has started offering" so I didn't think it anyone obvious on here. I have been digitizing for 23 years.. since the days of paper tapes and a Melco Digitrac... Volant is nearing it's 12th year anniversary and we don't sub out anything nor do we advertise.. at all. So just curious who is now advertising one thing but apparently doing something different.

inquiring minds want to know... lol

Same here. On another note, when I started in this business the company I worked for was at the tail end of paper tapes so I saw the people who worked there a long time use them but I never did. That must have been a huge change for you when people stopped using it.
I remember watching them edit the paper tapes and I would just shake my head, it looked so complicated.

poster has posted on this forum and is being very sly thats all I have to say....but its all good cos overseas digitizers are getting work. I dont need to point out the name do I Rob?

Robert Young · November 19th, 2012, 08:16 AM

You brought it up, so yes, if you wouldn't mind point out the name. That is my opinion.
