Printer Requirements
This secon 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 opmum 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. 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 (monochrome).

Label Design Requirements
The Rimage Windows-compable soware ships with the CD Designer™ label editor. CD Designer is installed on the
embedded or non-embedded PC during a typical installaon of the Rimage soware and is used for designing labels for
prinng with the integrated Everest 400 printer. CD Designer can be used to design labels on any Windows-based PC.
• 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.
Note: 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.
• File format – For best results, save your labels as JPEG or TIFF les. However, 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 – Convert all labels to the RGB color mode in order to import them into CD Designer.
• 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 the integrated Everest
400 in the 3400 and 5400N system. You can also print labels saved as PDF les.
