Spectrum2 CD Printer
The MediaFORM Spectrum2 CD Printer is a thermal transfer printer capable of printing
labels up to 600 dots per inch (DPI) on several types of CD-R, DVD-R or CD-ROM
media surfaces, using appropriate wax/resin thermal transfer ribbons. MediaFORM’s
thermal transfer CD labeling technology allows creation of cost effective, durable,
waterproof labels that are printed directly on the surface of the disc.
The Spectrum2 CD Printer prints CD labels designed using the MediaFORM CD
Labeling software (Spectrum2 Designer software). Labels created with the Spectrum2
Designer software can contain text, graphics, and serial numbers. The Spectrum2
Printer Driver for the Windows environment controls the operation and performance
configurations for the Spectrum2 CD printer. The Spectrum2 Printer Driver must be
installed prior to printing with the Spectrum2 CD printer.
