Setting up the Label Design Software
This section describes how to set up your label design software to print on the QL-800.
Setting up Labels in CQL Pro
CQL Pro is a software application developed by QuickLabel to access special features in our
printers and allow customers to easily design and print labels.
For detailed label setup and printing instructions, please refer to the CQL Pro Help.
Setting up Labels in Third-Party Design Applications
You can design and print label files exclusively within a third-party application such as Adobe
Photoshop or Illustrator. In this situation, use the following guidelines to ensure best results.
Note: You can also use third-party applications to design components of a label to be imported
into CQL Pro. In this situation, save or export graphic files in a .BMP, .PCX, uncompressed
.JPG, uncompressed .TIF, .GIF, .PNG, or .PDF format.
• Select a resolution of 400 or 800 pixels per inch - For raster-based design applications
such as Adobe Photoshop, choose a resolution of 400 or 800 pixels per inch. This will
provide sufficient image resolution to produce superior print quality. This setting is not used
in vector-based design applications such as Adobe Illustrator.
• If the application supports color management, enable it - Professional design
applications support color management. This option is typically found in the application’s
print window.
