Has anyone found a way of printing that doesn't involve the Print Manager software? I've tried printing via photoshop and via Windows Photo viewer and it's very faint. Print manager keeps changing the setting of my stuff and I'm having to reset sizes on every single page each time I print

You should be able to print directly, could just be a setting, profile etc. Make Sawgrass earn their money, they can dial in and check all settings for you.

I'm having the same issue, did you ever resolve it? I hate the SPM - I want to be able to print directly from Photoshop like I did with my 400.

You CANNOT print directly with colour accurately. That is the main issue with SG500 as the firmware will not take icc profile into account so will dither colours. Hence why we and everyone else we know ditched sg500 within first week of owning one.

I know that now - still no closer to a plan B though…

(Sorry, I know this is an old post.)
However, there's a SawGrass printer driver set up directly in macOS, and when I tried it, it sent to printer directly (without Print Manager or PrintMate).

Were the colours ok?

Not yet.
I haven't figured out the proper colour settings under Photoshop or Affinity Photo.
