Kiaro! 200 User Guide
•
Design elements that will run to the edge of the label are the parts of the design
that will “bleed” across the edge. Your bleed will most commonly be a solid color,
pattern, or gradient background running off the edge of the label.
Use the following guidelines when setting up a file for a non-bleed label.
•
The height and width of the label file “canvas” should be the same as the height
and width of the physical label.
•
All design elements should be placed inside a .0625” (1.5 mm) border of the canvas.
This will ensure such design elements never run to or over the edge of the label.
Printing Black
There are two ways to print black with the Kiaro! 200 printer. The printing method will
vary based on the RGB values of the black color being printed.
•
True Black - This method uses only black ink when printing black. The RGB color
values must all be between 0 and 1 to print in true black. For example, images with
RGB values of 0,0,0 or 0,1,0 or 1,1,1 will print using only black ink.
•
Process Black - This method uses a mixture of inks when printing black. If RGB
color values are not between 0 and 1, process black will be used. For example,
images with RGB values of 2,2,2 or 1,1,2 or 0,0,30 will print using a mixture of inks
in a process black.
Verifying Label Width
When designing labels, ensure the width of your label design matches the width of the
media you will be using. If your label file is wider than the media, the printer will
attempt to print the full width of your label. In this situation, ink will be injected into
the transport assembly and will require cleaning.
Use the ruler on the manual cutter to verify the width of your label media before
printing.
