Thermal Color Printing FAQs

1. Can the color printer use monocolor ribbons?

Yes. Change the ribbon, open the print driver, and change the “Installed Printer”

setting to Monocolor. Restart the application so it recognizes the changes in the

print driver.

2. How many CDs will the multicolor ribbon produce?

500

3. How many colors can the Rimage Prism printer print?

Using the three-paneled ribbon, you can create seven solid colors: Yellow, Cyan,

Blue, Red, Green, Magenta, and Black. These are then used to create other colors

by mixing them or by a process called dithering.

4. What is dithering?

Dithering is a process of printing a combination of small colored dots from our

seven-color palette to emulate a desired color. For example, yellow and magenta

dots can be combined to create orange. Dithering may also appear grainy when

viewing the image at a close range, but dithering increases the quantity of

available colors. Bitmaps that have other shades of color will print a dithered

color.

5. What graphic formats can the Rimage Prism printer produce?

It varies on the application that is printing to the printer. If you are using

CD Designer, you can use BMP, DXF, EPS, GEM, IMG, JPG, PCX, DCX, PNG,

TGA, TIF, WMF, and WPG. Windows BMP files are recommended. TIF files can

be saved in many different color models. CD Designer only accepts TIF files

without LZW compression.

6. What size and resolution should I use for pictures?

The complete label has an external diameter of 4.5” and an internal diameter of

1.6” to 2.0”. The inner diameter depends on the manufacturer of the disc. If only

a logo is to be printed on the side, keep it around 1.0” wide, or 300 pixels if using a

300-dpi image. It is also best to use a 300-dpi image to get the best resolution. If

you can use a smaller color depth, like 256 colors instead of 16.7 million, the

picture file is much smaller.

7. How do I change the color intensity of my printed pictures?

CD Designer and the printer cannot change the picture’s color intensity, or its

brightness. If the image is too dark, the best way to lighten the image is by using a

graphic program (such as PhotoShop or a paint program) to change the intensity

or brightness. If the image color is dull, use the graphic program to intensify the

colors in the picture. Export the modified picture again and insert the picture in

CD Designer.
