Greetings,
I just got a copy of CorelDraw x5 Full Retail Box Version to be used with my Conde Ricoh GX e3300n gels-printer.
Can't reach Conde Systems after hours and with new job, it's difficult if not impossible during week days for me to call for support. I was hoping to get some information on how to setup Conde ICC profiles, Ricoh driver files and Corel settings so I can do some sublimation printing. I have the following.

Conde Ricoh GX e3300n printer with Sublijet R ink.
Windows XP
Corel Draw x5

I previously (when unemployed) used Adobe Elements 10 during the trial period with my system and with the assistance of Conde Support had everything working. I am looking for assistance in setting up everything to work with Corel Draw x5 now. I have gone to Conde TV and changed a few things but didn't find an All-In-One video so I am a little confused.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I also have the following file from Conde but it was downloaded and installed when I was using Adobe Elements 10 trial. Not sure if Corel will use same file or not.

If properly installed, you will have two e3300n printers, like Ricoh gxe3300n and Power Driver e3300n. You will do all your printing through Power Driver. In X3 you disable the color management settings for printing, unsure how to do that in X5 (think you choose color engine as none), then go to print, choose properties on the PowerDriver printer and set it up for whichever paper/substrate you are using and send to print.

I've always made a separate Windows user for Dye sub printing so that I don't have to switch color management settings around all the time and just switch when needed, but I do a wide variety of other types of printing/designing.

Conde offers ICC profiles so the setup is different from a standard Sawgrass setup.

Believe Conde still uses the ol PowerDriver setup thing anyways, didn't see any real difference after I replaced my dead Ricoh with a new Ricoh in April.

Yes, but you stated "You will do all your printing through Power Driver" ... Conde has a custom setup. The color quality is supposed to be improved vs. Sawgrass standard Power Driver setup. The user has ICC profiles not available from Sawgrass but from Conde.

"Condé uses the ICC profile for a couple of different reasons.http://blog.dyetrans.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/mac_pc1.jpg It’s less intrusive than a PowerDriver and easier to use. Both require the OEM printer driver. The PowerDriver installs as a separate printer and directs prints through the OEM driver. The ICC method involves configuring the OEM driver and the application to utilize the ICC profile. Also ICC profiles are compatible with both Mac and PC where the PowerDriver is only compatible with the PC."
