Rimage® 480i Printer User Guide
Label Design Requirements
The Rimage 480i Software includes a label editor called CD Designer™, which is installed on your PC during a
typical installation of the Rimage 480i Software. Refer to the
Install the Rimage Software and Printer Driver
section on page 9. You can use CD Designer to design your labels.
If you prefer to design labels in a software application other than CD Designer, use the following criteria:
y
File format – For best results, save your labels as JPG or TIF files. These file formats must be converted
before you print labels. If you use CD Designer, import the labels and save them as CD Designer files (.btw).
If you do not use CD Designer, convert the labels to PDF files.
y
Color mode – Labels that are imported into CD Designer must be in RGB color mode.
y
Resolution (pixels per inch) – For best results, use images set to a minimum of 300 pixels per inch.
y
Label design size – Design labels with a height of 12 cm and width of 12 cm. A 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 that are in Rimage Media Kits have a printable area of 118 mm. On most labels, print
settings of 118 mm and 24 mm are recommended.

Print Requirements
Any label that you create and save through CD Designer is in the correct file format (.btw) and can be printed to
a Rimage 480i printer. If do not use CD Designer with your Rimage 480i printer, you can print labels saved as
PDF files.
