SMART Notebook software uses a technology called TLS 1.0 and 1.1 to protect your data when it's sent over the internet. However, these older technologies now have some weaknesses that make it susceptible to attacks by malicious agents. To ensure your data continues to be safe while using SMART software, SMART Notebook is phasing out the use of TLS 1.0 and 1.1 and implementing new protections.
To avoid potential disruptions and stay aligned with best security practices, SMART recommends updating to SMART Notebook 23 by December 31, 2023. If you don't update by this date, you will see an error message saying, "Trial period has expired" even if you have an active SMART Notebook Plus (SMART Learning Suite) subscription.

Wear points are predictable: needles and bobbins take the brunt, while the feed teeth, presser foot, and timing components require periodic inspection. Over time a machine will show telltale signs—minor stitch lag at high speeds, occasional loop-ups on very fine thread, or subtle misregistration—that indicate it’s time for calibrations or part replacements rather than wholesale panic.
The sound of a well-tuned DG16 in operation is a steady mechanical heartbeat: a rhythmic click-click of needles and a soft swish as fabric advances. Under load, when stitching dense areas or detailed lettering, you’ll notice a rise in motor effort but not panic—this head was built to hold tension and keep tempo. The thread path is straightforward and forgiving, and the tension assemblies respond predictably to small adjustments. Pulse’s electronics and control mapping paired with the DG16’s mechanics give the head a responsive feel, so needle changes, thread breaks, and color changes are integrated into workflow with minimal disruption.

Tajima DG16 by Pulse arrives at the workbench like a piece of precision-engineered intent. Sleek, compact, and unassuming, the DG16 head sits atop its carriage with the quiet confidence of a tool designed specifically for high-volume, high-detail embroidery. Its needle plate and shuttle area are tidy, with edges and clearances machined for consistent fabric feed; the satin stitches and dense fills it produces are notable for their even tension and minimal skipping. When running correctly, the DG16 renders crisp lettering, sharp corners, and smooth curves—qualities that make it a preferred choice for digitizers and production shops that demand repeatable results across long runs.
