Introduction
Each Prism Printer model is a thermal transfer CD printer that can print text and
graphics at 300x300 or 300x600 dots per inch (dpi) on the surface of the CD. These
printers can print a color image on a disc by using a multicolor ribbon, or can print a
single color image with a single color ribbon. Printing in color, or in a single color, is
dependant on the printer model, the installed print driver settings, the type of media
surface, and the type of ribbon installed in the printer.
