    3rd Party RIP Software compatible with Sawgrass SG400?

    Hello all,

    I am new to sublimation on my own, but I should say that I am experienced in my career in sublimation. After working for a sublimation company for nearly 10 years, I finally decided to get my own sublimation printer and landed on the Sawgrass SG400. So far I am loving the print and color quality of the printer, but I absolutely dislike the online RIP software included with the Sawgrass membership. It is an extremely inefficient piece of software as each image has to be uploaded and placed into the design area, then the whole design gets downloaded and printed from there. I found that I cannot gang up images onto a Legal sized page in Illustrator then upload and print (quality decreases significantly). Bottom line is their software is ok for people just getting started, but for people who kinda know what they are doing, this is not the way to go. Does anyone know of a 3rd party software that is compatible with the SG400? Online searches have been sending me to Softrip, and Posterprint, but these aren't compatible with my machine. Posterprint is the one that I use at work, which is kind of disappointing.

    Perhaps just rent Photoshop and print directly from it without needing a RIP.

    I have Ricoh SG3110DN's, virtually identical to SG400, and have never printed with anything other than Photoshop along with the correct ICC profile for my inks.

    Thank you all for the help. I have the current versions of Illustrator and Photoshop, and had no idea you could just print direct from the Adobe programs!
