Strobe Settings
Strobe settings control the amount of energy used to print a pixel. Higher
settings use more energy. As the settings increase, the image becomes more
intense and the print-head life decreases. Rimage recommends using the the
lowest strobe setting that provides the desired image quality.
Notes:
• These are recommended settings for Rimage brand media.
• This may require multiple test printings on discs to fine-tune the color
hue. Set Enable Color Sub-Strobes to Enabled to lower an individual
color’s print strobe. For example, this setting can be used to lower the
Yellow Print Strobe setting when trying to eliminate a halo effect on a
printed disc.
1. Access Print Properties . Refer to page 9.
2. Select the Device Settings tab.
3. Set the Master Print Strobe setting.
Note: Rimage recommends the following settings for Rimage-brand
media:
• Media surface: Thermal-printable media
• Print strobe setting for black ribbon: 325 - 400
• Print strobe setting for red ribbon: 375 - 425
• Print strobe setting for blue ribbon: 350 - 400
4. Select Enabled to Enable Color Sub-Strobes.

Tip: Some DVD media has a raised stacking ring on the printable side of
the disc. The direct thermal print process used in the Prism III printer
cannot print in this area. The DVD with Top Stacking Ring setting causes
the printer to skip over the stacking ring which results in an unprinted
band on the disc. Rimage recomends using discs without the stacking
ring on the printable surface.

Strobe Settings
section for
more information.
7. Enable Color Sub-Strobes . Refer to the

are disabled by default. The Master Print Strobe has no effect when
Color Sub-Strobes are enabled.

before printing another disc.

Print option . The Perfect Print option is only available on Rimage
AutoPrinters.
