Ribbon Requirements
Important!
-
Rimage supports only the use of Rimage brand ribbons in our printers. 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 Part Number Number of Discs Printed
Black 201737-006 2100
Red 202082-002 2100
Midnight Blue 203217-001 2100
Multicolor 202506-001 500
Store the ribbons at -5 ° C (23 ° F) to 40 ° C (104 ° F) and at 30 to 80% relative humidity, non-condensing. Avoid direct sunlight.
Label Design Requirements
The Prism printer Windows-compatible software ships with the CD Designer™ label editor software. This software 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 JPG or TIF files. These file formats must be converted before printing.
•
If you are using CD Designer, import the labels and save them as CD Designer files (.btw). If you are not using CD
Designer, convert the labels to PDF files.
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 38mm (1.496”).
•
Print Requirements
Any label you create and save through CD Designer is in the correct file format (.btw) to print to a Prism on a Rimage
autoloader. If you do not use CD Designer with your Prism printer, you can print labels saved as PDF files.
If you are using a standalone Prism printer or an AutoPrism AutoPrinter, you can print directly from any application with print
capability.
