Hi all, my name's Keith and after having been introduced to sublimation by a friend, thought I'd try it for myself. I'd decided to invest in the SG400 to start with, but another friend gave me an Epson WF 7610. Is it worth persevering with - even though I do like the Virtuoso Print Manager and Creative Studio.
I've never used Photoshop before, what's the best way forward?

You will get 100 different answers but depends on if hobby or possible business. As a company we would always say Photoshop CC and you can rent the software for around £7-8 a month.

It's a hobby that I want to turn into a business once I know what I'm doing! I used Creative Studio before, and having the templates and print manager all in one place made life really easy!

Hi Keith and welcome to the forum. My personal opinion if you'd already decided the Ricoh would be a good option would be to go down that route. We can offer some discounts in our Premium Membership scheme which would help you and we also have a company on-board that can supply the Ricoh printers with different inks.
