Digital Factory 12 Sublimation Edition – Dye Sublimation RIP Software

Fiery Digital Factory 12 Sublimation Edition – Dye Sublimation RIP Software

Digital Factory 12 Sublimation Edition is Fiery's RIP and workflow software for dye-sublimation printing on textiles, hard goods, and coated substrates. It handles design prep, layout and nesting, color management, and print queueing in one platform, so you're not piecing together separate tools to get from artwork to a finished sublimation transfer.

What's Included

The base license covers one desktop-size sublimation printer. If you're running a second printer, or a printer larger than desktop-size, you'll license it as an add-on below.

Do You Need a Printer Add-On?

If you're only running one desktop-size sublimation printer, no — that's already covered by the base license. If you're adding a second printer, match the add-on to its width:

• Up to 24" wide — for a mid-size sublimation printer.
• 25" and larger — for a wide-format production sublimation printer.

Need to Run More Than One Printer?

Running more than two printers, or need to add a second compact desktop printer (A4/Letter size)? Contact us for a quote to get every printer on your license.

What You Get With Digital Factory 12 Sublimation Edition

• Optimized sublimation workflows — built specifically for sublimation on textiles, hard goods, and coated substrates, not adapted from a general-purpose RIP.
• Visual layout tools — nesting, step-and-repeat, and mirror output for efficient media use.
• RIP directly from your design apps — works with Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, and other popular design tools.
• Hot folder automation — template-driven production workflows that cut manual steps.
• Professional ICC-compliant color engine — vibrant, predictable, repeatable color output.
• Free Fiery eLearning access — included with every license so your team can actually learn the software, not just install it.

Add-Ons to Extend Your Workflow

Fiery Color Profiler

Adds professional ICC color profiling to Digital Factory 12, built on the same profiling technology behind Fiery Edge. Use it with a supported spectrophotometer to build custom printer/ink/media profiles, set individual per-channel ink limits, and manage spot colors with an updated PANTONE®-current library. Requires a valid Digital Factory 12 license. Can be combined with a printer add-on in the same order.

Sublimation Add-On Printer — Up to 24"

Licenses an additional sublimation printer up to 24" wide on top of your base license.

Sublimation Add-On Printer — 25" and Larger

Licenses an additional wide-format sublimation printer 25" or larger on top of your base license.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the base license cover more than one printer?

No — the base Sublimation Edition license covers one desktop-size printer. A second printer needs its own add-on.

Which add-on size do I need?

Match it to your additional printer's width: up to 24" for mid-size, 25"+ for wide-format production printers. If you're not sure where your printer lands, contact us with the model and we'll confirm before you buy.

What if I need to add a second desktop printer, or more than two printers total?

Contact us — we support additional configurations (like a second A4/Letter-size desktop printer, or licensing three or more printers) that aren't set up as standard checkout options here.

Do I need the Fiery Color Profiler add-on?

Not to print — Digital Factory ships with default color profiles out of the box. The Color Profiler add-on is for shops that want custom ICC profiles for a specific printer/ink/media combination or need per-channel ink limit control.
