Set up for Serif DrawPlus X6

[melridd]

Hi there

I received my starter kit from Listawood and I'm in the process of getting everything set up, I've hit a stumbling block as Sawgrass have updated their website and the WinProfile download is hiding (see previous thread!)

I've read ahead to the next stage in the set up, configuring your design software and there are very detailed set up instructions for Corel Draw. I have Corel Draw X7 but I much prefer to use Serif DrawPlus X6 - which has a much simpler colour management set up screen, does anyone else use DrawPlus, and can I ask how you've set it up?

Thanks, Melanie

I presume you have ricoh printer from listawood?
if so, go for PowerDriver so you can avoid setting up any color management.

Thanks Paul. Yes, it's the Ricoh printer. What is the difference between PowerDriver and WinProfile and why would Listawood recommend WinProfile over PowerDriver?

[Paul]

i don't know why they would do that. Maybe print outs via icc are better then PD? not sure. but power driver will allow you to use any software to print. even those that don't offer color management.

PowerDriver simply manages the profiles for you in an easier interface...or so I believe. I've always been told PD is a better option but I would certainly ask the question.

I use Powerdriver with Drawplus X2 with great results.
