Label design requirements

The 480i printer ships with the CD Designer™label-editing program, which you can use to design

your labels.

If you have another software application that you prefer, you can create the label image and print

directly to the printer. If you create a Windows bitmap (.bmp) file, you can insert it into CD

Designer to create a label that prints with the Rimage software. To create a label with another

software application, use the following criteria when creating a label:

•Color Depth – Save the artwork for the label

with the color set to at least 256 colors; a higher

color setting is recommended.

•DPI – Use pictures or logos set to 300 DPI

(Dots Per Inch).

•Label Design Size – A full size disc is 120mm

(4.723”). The hole is 15mm (0.59”). The

printable area and hub sizes vary depending on

the disc manufacturer.

•Media – The media that is in Rimage Media

Kits™has a hub area of 23 mm and a printable

area of 118 mm. Most labels print well with the

print settings set to 24 mm and 118 mm. To

eliminate the white areas that may appear at

the center and edge of the disc, you may want

to try settings of 23 mm and 119 mm.

discs and ink cartridges, all guaranteed by
