    Angry Have Sawgrass stopped Powerdriver??

    I have just got a new PC and need powerdrive to use my Ricoh 3110 but there is no link on the Sawgrass Site you need to contact them. Has anyone got a ework around as I have just installed the PC as the old one went pop and i need to finish an order for Tuesday. NOT A HAPPY BUNNY AT THE MOMENT!!!

    Do you think the Virtuoso driver will work?
    Many thanks

    Yes they have stopped it. They want people to use print studio instead but having had SG support scratching theirs heads as to why we couldn’t print using it it turns out you cannot print from Photoshop!! Apparently you need to save everything you do as jpg and then drag it into a folder.

    SG support will send you PD4 if asked.

    Sadly we are not back in studio until tomorrow so cannot check work computers for download to send on.

    They announced the discontinuation before xmas i believe you can still download the generic driver if you are installing and printing ICC via software, else i think they want you to use Virtuoso Print Manager if using their inks

    If you have virtuoso folder monitor running in the system tray then you can print to virtuoso using photoshop, the monitor will pick this up and open the printer dialogue. I believe you can drop files into the folder but not had to do this yet. Having used powerdriver and icc in the past I really like this program.

    If you're using Photoshop though, do you need to use anything except the printer driver, and have PS manage colours with the ICC profiles

    No, profiles already incorporated into vpm which simplifies things.

    Confused. I have Coreldraw and have always just printed from there through the Powerdriver option which goes to my Ricoh. I didn’t think the Virtuoso worked with the Ricoh and only with their printers. Also will it work with Coreldraw.
