Prism III Printer Requirements

This section describes the ink, label design, and print requirements for the
Prism printer.

Ribbon Requirements

Important!
Rimage supports only the use of Rimage brand ribbons in the Prism
•
printer. Printer issues that occur as a result of using ribbons by
manufacturers other than Rimage are not included under your Rimage
warranty or maintenance agreement.
For optimum results, store the Prism III ribbons at a temperature 23° to
•
104° F (-5° to 40° C) and at a relative humidity of 30% to 80% non-
condensing.
Avoid moisture and direct sunlight.
•
Do not reuse ribbons.
•
Use only ribbons designed for the Prism III printer. Refer to the table
•
below.
The Prism printer requires ribbons designed specifically for use with the
printer. The Prism III printer will only operate with the following Rimage
ribbons:

Label Design Requirements

The Rimage Windows-compatible CD Designer™ label editor software
ships with each printer. CD Designer is installed on your PC during a typical
installation of the Rimage software. If you have a Windows-based PC, you
can use CD Designer to design your labels.
If you are using a Macintosh, or prefer to design labels in a software
application other than CD Designer, use the following criteria.
Important! CD Designer is not Macintosh-compatible.

Print Requirements

All labels created and saved through CD Designer are in the correct file
format (.btw) for printing with the Prism printer. If you are creating and
saving labels with a software application other than CD Designer, save
your labels as PDF files before printing with the Prism printer. If you use a
standalone Prism printer or an AutoPrism AutoPrinter, you can print directly
from any application with print capability.

File format: For best results, save your labels as JPEG or TIFF files.
However, these file formats must be converted before printing. If you
use CD Designer to print labels, you must import the labels and save
them as CD Designer files (.btw) before printing. If you do not use CD
Designer to print labels, you must convert the labels to PDF files before
printing.
Color mode: Labels that are imported into CD Designer must be in RGB
color mode.
Resolution: Use pictures or logos set to
300x300 dpi (Dots Per Inch) or 300x600
dpi.

(1536 pixels) and the height is 4.52"
