The Everest II utilizes Rimage's patented retransfer printing process. The CMY panels are first
printed to a clear retransfer ribbon inside the Rimage printer. Then, using heat and pressure, the printed
image and a layer of the clear ribbon are applied to the disc. The finished product emerges dry,
durable, and ready to handle. The final effect is amazing - a colorful, high resolution, disc with
your choices of photos, graphics, text, bar codes, you name it - in less than 60 seconds.

CD-Designer label creation software is also included with the Rimage Everest II. This software allows the
you to import graphics and text. Features include serialization, bar codes, and data merging
capabilities. However, you don't need to be limited to the tools provided because the printer works
well with such industry-standard software as Adobe® Illustrator®, Adobe® Photoshop®, Macromedia®
FreeHand®, QuarkExpress®, and CorelDRAW®. Graphic designers can compose labels using their choice of
software.
The pigmented ink on the Rimage Everest II ribbons is UV protected, ensuring vibrant colors throughout the
life of a disc. Everest II disc printing will pass any sunshine or dashboard test you devise - a
significant advantage over other disc printers. And because the ink is not water based, you will
never see a smeared Rimage Everest II disc. Everest II printing also won't scratch off—you'll ruin the disc
before you can scratch the label. This enables discs to be used for commercial distribution because
Everest II printed discs can withstand the rigors of day-to-day consumer handling.
The Rimage Everest II employs an innovative variable dot technology, where the dots composing an image vary
in size, resulting in sharper images with greater detail. In addition, the MicroDry ink is actually a
thermal resin that contains pigment. This dry technology produces a dot with a fine edge. Consequently,
dots per inch, or DPI, does not accurately reflect the print resolution. A better measure is lines per
inch (LPI), and that is where Rimage Everest II truly shines. Silk-screen printing typically produces 85-120
LPI, and magazines are generally offset printed at 150 LPI. Everest II prints labels at 160 LPI—color
or monochrome printing that is better than silk-screen!
The Rimage Everest II is available in a variety of configurations. For easy, economical desktop use, there's
the stand alone Rimage Everest II For batch printing, there is the AutoEverest II, an automatically loading
printer that connects to a PC or Macintosh. For true on-demand CD-R/DVD-R production, connect your

Full color printing for photo-realistic images, monocolor printing for special effects or economy,
white media, silver media - all are possible with this Rimage printer. The Rimage Everest II can print up to 1000 discs
unattended, making it perfect for long printing runs. The Everest II printing ribbons are on an

- CMY print ribbons - these are the most popular choice for Rimage Everest printing. They work well
with silver or white media and can reproduce everything from photos to graphics to sophisticated
artwork. CMY ribbons will print 500 discs per ribbon and each disc will print in less than 60
seconds.
- Black ribbon - the black ribbon is a great choice for black or gray scale printing. Silver
media and a black ribbon can combine to form a great looking disc, and provide the additional
benefits of faster printing, 35 seconds, lower cost per disc, and 1000 prints per ribbon.
- CMY+W ribbon - This is a CMY ribbon with an additional white panel. This ribbon can be used
when maximum photographic reproduction is desired, particularly with skin tones and faces. In
addition, the CMY+W ribbon can be used with silver media to print the full color spectrum and also
provide silver highlights or dropouts. And, if you really want to wow your audience, use the unique
layering capability of Everest printing to create discs with reflective highlights that can easily
be seen, but can't be copied or duplicated. This holographic effect is an Everest exclusive. The
CMY+W ribbon prints 375 discs per ribbon and each disc prints in 75 seconds.
