Default RGB or CMYK Which is best for DTG

Hi,
I have a DTG Kiosk. Can anyone tell me the best color palette to use in Corel?
RGB or CMYK? What do you suggest. I'm told that RGB is best for sublimation, what is best for Direct to Garment printing? Thanks

RGB is what the RIP designer suggests. NTSC 1953 I believe is the suggested color space.

RGB is always the best way to go. RGB gives you more color range and the file sizes are smaller. Good Luck!

I was told RGB is the way to go tried CMYK (to see what would happen)and results were abit funky went to back to RGB and it came out fine. Was told in tech speak that the rip likes RGB much more then CMYK

I can tell you not to use spot colors... I found that does not work well at all. I almost went nuts trying to figure out why the colors on screen were not matching what was being printed. That is what it was.
