• 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 files. However, these file formats must be imported into
CD Designer and saved as CD Designer files (.btw) or converted to PDF files 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 file format (.btw) for prinng to the integrated Everest
400 in the 3400 and 5400N system. You can also print labels saved as PDF files.
