Everest 600 Printer Requirements
This secon describes ribbon, label design, and print requirements for the
Everest 600 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 opmum results, make sure that Everest 600 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 the Everest 600 printer. Refer to the table
below.
The Everest 600 printer requires a print ribbon and a retransfer ribbon. The
standard print ribbon has three colors: Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow (CMY).
These three colors combine in prinng to create full-color discs. Print
ribbons are also available in black.
Everest 600 Ribbons
Ribbon Type Number of Discs Printed
3-Color (CMY) 500
Black (monochrome) 1000
Retransfer ribbon (500 prints) 500
Label Design Requirements
The Everest 600 Windows-compable soware ships with the CD Designer™
label editor soware. This soware is installed on your PC during a typical
installaon of the Rimage soware. If you have a Windows-based PC, you
can use CD Designer to design your labels.
If you are using a Macintosh, or prefer to design labels in a soware
applicaon other than CD Designer, use the following criteria.
Important! CD Designer is not Macintosh-compable and is not installed
with the Macintosh-compable Rimage soware.
• 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 that are in Rimage Media Kits have a printable area of
118-24 mm. On most labels, print sengs of 118 mm and 24 mm are
recommended.

Area 118 mm
Hub Size

Everest 600 Printer Requirements

2001474_B
• File format – For best results, save your labels as JPEG or TIFF les.
However, if you are using the Everest 600 on a Rimage autoloader,
these le formats must be imported into CD Designer and saved as CD
Designer les (.btw) or converted to PDF les before prinng.
• Color mode – If your Everest 600 is on a Rimage autoloader, convert
all labels to the RGB color mode in order to import them into CD
Designer. If the Everest 600 is a standalone printer or on an AutoEverest
AutoPrinter, and you are prinng directly from an image-eding
program, you can work in the color mode of your choice.
• Resoluon (pixels per inch) – For best results, use images set to a
minimum of 300 pixels per inch. You may noce beer results if you use
images with 600 pixels per inch or higher.
Print Requirements
Any label you create and save through CD Designer is in the correct le
format (.btw) for prinng to an Everest 600 on a Rimage autoloader. You
can also print labels saved as PDF les if your Everest 600 is on a Rimage
autoloader.
If you are using a standalone Everest 600 printer or an AutoEverest
AutoPrinter, you can print directly from any applicaon with print capability.
