laser sublimation

[Scott Shepherd]

I don't know what's so special about their drivers because I've never used them. The great thing about CLT is the color you print is the color it presses, pretty much. With Dye Sub, the color you print isn't in the same area as the color it comes out of the press. So you need the special drivers for dye sub.

With the MagicTouch products, we print to it like it's a good CMYK printer and it does just fine. Maybe next time we need a printer, we'll buy it from them and then I'll know what's so special about it, but until then, we'll treat it like any other color printer.

I am not sure about the driver portion, it's more an ICC profile the drivers may have incorporated into it. I have printed some really not good stuff of the laser printer
because somehow my color management settings got changed. I do find Dye Sub difficult to correct, and have to print a color test from time to time, the profile
I have from Conde is pretty good for most stuff. One thing to remember both with Dye Sub and CLT is the inks/toners are transparent so the color of the substrate affects it.
