Designing and Printing Labels30 Kiaro! 200 User Guide• Design elements that will run to the edge of the label are the parts of the designthat 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 heightand width of the physical label.• All design elements should be placed inside a .0625” (1.5 mm) border of thecanvas. This will ensure such design elements never run to or over the edge of thelabel.Printing BlackThere are two ways to print black with the Kiaro! 200 printer. The printing method willvary based on the RGB values of the black color being printed.• True Black - This method uses only black ink when printing black. The RGB colorvalues must all be between 0 and 1 to print in true black. For example, images withRGB 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 RGBcolor 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 inksin a process black.Verifying Label WidthWhen designing labels, ensure the width of your label design matches the width of themedia you will be using. If your label file is wider than the media, the printer will attemptto print the full width of your label. In this situation, ink will be injected into the transportassembly and will require cleaning.Use the ruler on the manual cutter to verify the width of your label media before printing.Setting up the Label Design SoftwareThis section describes how to set up your label design software to print on the Kiaro!200.Setting up Labels in Custom QuickLabel OmniCustom QuickLabel Omni is a software application developed by QuickLabel to accessspecial features in our printers and allow customers to easily design and print labels.For detailed label setup and printing instructions, please refer to the CustomQuickLabel Help.
