Important Information
Printer Requirements
This section describes ribbon, label design, and print requirements for the
integrated Everest 400 printer.
Ribbon Requirements
Important!
Rimage only supports the use of Rimage brand ribbons in our printers.
•
Printer issues that occur as a result of using ribbons from manufacturers
other than Rimage are not included under your Rimage warranty or
maintenance agreement.
For optimum results, make sure that Everest ribbons are stored at a
•
temperature between 41° and 95°F (5° to 35°C) and humidity level
between 45% and 85%.
Avoid moisture and direct sunlight.
•
Do not reuse ribbons.
•
Use only ribbons designed for your Everest 400 printer. Refer to the
•
table below.
The integrated Everest 400 printer requires a print ribbon and a retransfer
ribbon to print disc labels. The standard print ribbon has three colors: Cyan,
Magenta, and Yellow (CMY). These three colors combine in printing to create
full-color discs. Print ribbons are also available in black (monochrome) and
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and White (CMY+W).

Label Design Requirements
The Rimage Windows-compatible CD Designer™ label editor software ships
with each autoloader. CD Designer is installed on the embedded or non-
embedded PC during a typical installation of the Rimage software and is
used for designing labels for printing with the integrated Everest 400 printer.
CD Designer can be used to design labels on any Windows-based PC.
•
File format – For best results, save your labels as JPEG or TIFF files.
These file formats must be imported into CD Designer and saved as CD
Designer files (.btw) or converted to PDF files before printing.
•
Color mode – Convert all labels to the RGB color format before
importing them into CD Designer.
•
Resolution (pixels per inch) – For best results, use images set to a
minimum of 300 pixels per inch. You may notice better results if you use
images with 600 pixels per inch or higher.
•
Label design size – Design labels with
a height of 12 cm and width of 12 cm.
A full-size disc is 120 mm (4.723") in
diameter. The hole is 15 mm (0.59")
The printable area and hub sizes vary
depending on the disc manufacturer.
Tip: The media in Rimage Media Kits have a printable area of 118-24 mm
(see above diagram). On most labels, print settings of 118 mm and 24 mm
are recommended.
Print Requirements
Any label you create and save through CD Designer is in the correct file
format (.btw) for printing to the integrated Everest 400 in the 3410 and
5410N system. You can also print labels saved as PDF files.
