Default Ricoh Questions

I really want to love this printer, but if it's not one thing it's another. Conde has been really helpful at least, but I still have questions. I have an e-mail out to support but I thought I would ask here anyways.

In Corel Draw under Color Management what is selected under the printer? and is CMYK or RGB selected at the bottom?

That's the first couple questions.

You also need to check what color pallete you are using in Corel. If you import a file using CMYK colors it will provide a very different look the an RGB file. colors tend to be very muted on CMYK files. Blacks will be grey, etc.

I was always told to use cmyk when printing my heat transfers is that not correct and should I be using the rgb instead?

Hopefully after this week I feel that way. But I'm not close yet. It doesn't help that I'm not used to corel draw. I'm used to other programs.

Which Ricoh printer do you have? Are you printing with the ICC profile or the Power Driver?
