Designing and Printing Labels
QL-800 User Guide 31
Setting up Labels in Third-Party Design Applications
You can design and print label files exclusively within a third-party application such as
Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator. In this situation, use the following guidelines to ensure
best results.
Note: You can also use third-party applications to design components of a label to be
imported into Custom QuickLabel Omni. In this situation, save or export graphic files in
a .BMP, .PCX, uncompressed .JPG, uncompressed .TIF, .GIF, .PNG, or .PDF format.
• Select a resolution of 600 pixels per inch - For raster-based design applications
such as Adobe Photoshop, choose a resolution of 600 pixels per inch. This will
provide sufficient image resolution to produce superior print quality. This setting is
not used in vector-based design applications such as Adobe Illustrator.
• Use in-gamut colors - When designing in color, ensure you use colors that are
within the printing gamut. Most design applications will indicate when a color is out
of gamut.
For example, in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, out-of-gamut colors are indicated
by an exclamation point icon in the Color palette.
Out-of-gamut colors cannot be accurately printed. There are often colors that can
be found to replace out-of-gamut colors.
• If the application supports color management, enable it - Professional design
applications support color management. This option is typically found in the
application’s print window.
