Hi everyone

Well im takin the plunge , planning start off with phone & tablet cases , mugs etc... im a total newbie to all this, ordered myself 3d sublimation vacuum machine , with iphone /samsung jigs and cases, due arrive end of the week. Im looking at printers , may go with the Ricoh SG 3110DN for SubliJet-R. is the any special/useful software that i would need or is recommended ?, currently have photoshop on my Pc.

photoshop is fine to use but you will need the colour profiles for which ever printer you buy and set the colour management up for your software

Yeah ive seen , icc and powerdriver files for the Ricoh available on the sawgrass website. Cheers

If you're a Photoshop user, then go with the ICC profile.

Thanks for that , noted

Are you planning to print on paper for transfer or on 3D film? This will influence which printer and inks you buy

[cybalokz]

Hi Sawgrass , i just planned on using Transfer papers. can you use film with these machines? (same 3d machine as on your site) i thought the film was for the more pricier machines, like the sublideck?

[Sawgrass]

cybalokz, we do not have a 3D machine on our site. If you are transferring with paper, then the Ricoh 3110 will be perfect.

Ooh yeah Sawgrass sorry was looking at another site. thanks
