Rimage Professional 3400 and 5400N User Guide
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 fi les. However, these fi le formats must be imported into
