Optimizing Color Labels
For full color printing, the PowerPro CD Printer uses a paneled ribbon that includes a
Cyan (blue), Magenta (Red), and Yellow panels, commonly referred to as CMY colors.
The printer mixes (by dithering) these colors to create the colors on the label. Mixing the
CMY panels creates a range of colors. For example, green would be a mix of blue and
yellow, and black a mix of all three panels. Due to the limitations of dithering some
color combinations appear more intense that others.
There are seven standard colors that provide good color intensity for text and graphics.
These colors are shown in the first row of the Custom Colors of the Color Selection
Menu in the CD Label program. These colors are red, green, blue, light blue, purple,
yellow, and black
.
Recommendation for optimum text and graphics: Use
the seven standard colors for
text color or graphic shape color for boxes, circles, lines, and color filled shapes. These
colors selected from within the CD Label program.
For best color output:
Use the Seven standard
colors shown in the
Custom Colors box.

printed)
