Label Design Requirements
This section provides some things you need to consider before you create a label. Your
first consideration is the media you will use. Select media that has an ink printable
surface.
The OfficeNet software comes with a label editor called “CD Designer” which is
installed on your system. Use CD Designer to design your labels.
If you have another software application that you prefer, you can create the label
image and output it as an Acrobat (.pdf) file, or you can output a Windows bitmap
(.bmp) file. The Acrobat file can print directly to the Liberty through the Rimage
software. If you output a Windows bitmap file, insert it into CD Designer to create a
label that prints with the Rimage software. To create a label with another program,
use the following criteria when creating a label:
Color Depth: Save the artwork for the label with the color set to at least 256 colors; a
higher color setting is recommended.
DPI: Use pictures or logos set to 300 DPI (Dots Per Inch).
Label Design Size: A full size disc is 120mm (4.723”) with a hub size that is 38mm
(1.5”). The actual printable area is around 118mm (4.65”). The printable area and hub
sizes vary depending on the disc manufacturer. The hole is 15mm (0.59”).
You can mask the outer non-printable area and hub area so it does not print in these
areas. Set parameters in the Run Masker section of the printer driver. Refer to page
47.
Media Requirements
Discs must be coated with a surface designed for ink-jet printing. Recommended ink-
jet printable discs are listed on the Rimage Web site.
