CADlink Digital Factory v10 Sublimation — RIP Software

Digital Factory CADlink v10 Sublimation Edition is a professional RIP and colour management software purpose-built for dye sublimation production — from entry-level desktop shops to high-volume production environments. Unlike the standard Windows drivers bundled with most sublimation printers, it provides a complete pre-production and workflow management toolset alongside a high-fidelity colour engine with professionally created ICC profiles for exceptional colour accuracy and vibrancy straight out of the box.

The software eliminates the need for third-party design applications in day-to-day production by including step and repeat, custom print template creation, image editing tools, KnockOut colour removal and a complete queue management system in a single interface. Compatible with virtually all sublimation printers via direct drivers or the standard Windows GDI driver. Wide-format printer add-ons available. Compatible with Windows 10 and 11.
