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. If you

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”).

Masking and Printing Hub Area

You can mask the outer non-printable area and print, or not print in the hub area. Set these

options in the “

Run Masker

” option in the printer driver. Refer to page

area, see
