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.
The Prism printer requires ribbons designed specifically for use with the printer. The table below lists the type of ribbon to use
with your printer.
Ribbon Color
Black
Red
Midnight Blue
Multicolor

Note: Store the ribbons at 23° to 104° F (-5° to 40° C) and at 30% to 80% relative humidity, non-condensing. Avoid direct
sunlight. Refer to the Rimage Prism Printer Specifications

Label Design Requirements

The Prism printer Windows-compatible software ships with the CD Designer label editor software. 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 prefer to design your labels in a software application other than CD Designer, use the following criteria:
•
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.
•
Label Design Size: The width is 5.12" (1536 pixels) and the height is
4.52" (1356 pixels).
•
Printable Area: The printable area of a disc when using a Prism
printer is 116 mm (4.567") and the hub is 38 mm (1.496").

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.
