Like most printing processes there is a learing curve. With sublimation printing the learing curve is perhaps a bit longer, in that, you must learn to use graphic design programs such as CorelDraw, PhotoShop or Novelty7 which in our opinion is the easist to use. In addition there are color control management features to learn. The best advise we can give you is for your to make a small investment by purchasing the Sublimation Video Tapes.

Explaination of PowerDriver Pro Software
Power Driver Pro for Windows
PowerDriver Pro is our own proprietary printer software, working alongside Epson's printer software to automatically color match artwork for metal, ceramic, fabric, mouse pads, and Unisub wood board. PowerDriver automatically sets the Epson printer settings for SubliJet printing.
Using PowerDriver is simple. Simply design your artwork, print to the PowerDriver printer, and transfer the image. Colors print the way you expect and photographic images look like the original. For spot color matches, PowerDriver comes with a useful color table that approximates Pantone spot colors for corporate logos and signage.
PowerDriver works alongside any graphics design software that runs under Microsoft Windows operating systems. If you can print from your application, you can print to PowerDriver!
System Requirements Complete PC requirement details!
PowerDriverPro works with Windows XP & Vista operating systems.
Mac System Requirements: Not compatible with Mac at this time.
About IQ Inks
While traditional SubliJet inks are excellent for indoor or short-term outdoor applications, SubliJet IQ provides an additional level of fade resistance previously unavailable in sublimation dyes. Independent testing has shown that SubliJet IQ will provide outdoor life as long as any other sublimation ink available on the market today. Life will vary by substrate, angle of sun exposure, geography, and climate.
The higher fade resistance of the SubliJet IQ ink makes it ideal for:
Flags
Banners
Sports Apparel
License Plates
Signage
Anywhere maximum outdoor light-fastness is needed
SubliJet IQ comes with a unique version of PowerDriver PRO color management software, optimized for use with IQ ink applications.
