    I am very new to mug printing and have tried icc profiles and Powerdriver. I use Corel Draw X6 for sublimation and use SWOP in the colour management setting and also use the Power driver with the Ricoh printer. The results I get are stunning with the printed mugs being virtually identical to the monitor display.

    You're using SWOP, (which is a CMYK profile) in Corel , and then sending it to PowerDriver, and then onto the Ricoh?!
    Essentially you're using two ICC profiles, the first CMYK and not a printer profile at all, and then an RGB printer profile within Power Driver?
    I very much doubt that this actually produces accurate results, and if it does it is either luck or co-incidence, and wouldn't be something to recommend as the "right" way of doing things.

    Guess I must be lucky then as I use Corel for generating all work to be printed out, large format or litho of which I do quite alot so I can gauge if final printed result matches onscreen display. I use Corel's colour management for all of this, I may change the profile depending on what the output company say. Generally I use the cmyk colour model if it is to be outout as a cmyk job as this generally will pass through the RIP or at least be in the right colour model for import if they use another programme for batching.
    Mugs are quite different though as I design in RGB and I am using the SWOP profile (as suggested by Sawgrass) in the CM to allow Draw to display how it will print/should print, I will assume that the Powerdriver then does the RGB to CMYK conversion for the Ricoh. Any how the results are spot on ie print to display wise so I will relish my good fortune and I'm off to buy a lottery ticket before my luck runs out :)

    BTW I've just said hello in the hello section
