Label Design Requirements
The Rimage 2000i Soware includes a label editor called CD Designer™,
which is installed on your PC during a typical installaon of the Rimage 2000i
Soware. You can use CD Designer to design your disc labels.
If you prefer to design labels in a soware applicaon other than CD
Designer, use the following criteria:
• File format: For best results, save your labels as JPEG or TIFF les.
However, these le formats must be converted before prinng. If you
use CD Designer to print labels, you must import the labels and save
them as CD Designer les (.btw) before prinng. If you do not use CD
Designer to print labels, you must convert the labels to PDF les before
prinng.
• Color mode: Labels imported into CD Designer must be in RGB color
mode.
• Resoluon (pixels per inch): For best results, use images set to a
minimum of 300 pixels per inch.
• Label design size: Design labels with a
height of 12 cm and a 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 may vary
between disc manufacturers.
Note: The media in Rimage Media Kits have a
printable area of 118 to 24 mm. On most
labels, print sengs of 118 mm and 24 mm
are recommended. Refer to the image.
Hub Size
24 mm
Printable Area
118 mm
Print Requirements
All labels created and saved through CD Designer are in the correct le
format (.btw) for prinng with the Rimage 2000i. If you are creang and
saving labels with a soware applicaon other than CD Designer, save your
labels as PDF les before prinng with the Rimage 2000i.
