- Printer: HP laserJet 4M (with PostScript) (600dpi)
-
-
- I am interested in:
-
- 1. The fastest way to print a colour image ( GIF, TIFF, SUNraster format)
-
- as a b/w bitmap .
-
- Which (precomputed) format gives the printer an easy job?
-
- 2. The method to produce the best possible b/w image on the printer, i.e.
- it does not matter how much print computing time is involved.
-
-
- 3. A good compromise between 1 and 2.
-
-
-
-
-
- Note that I have "xv" which gives me the possibility to convert an image to
- grayscale, b/w dithered etc.
-
- My current method is: Use xv to convert a colour image to a gray scale image,
- output a PostScript file and send it to the printer. This gives a good result
- but takes some time (15 minutes). Another disadvantage is the rather large size
- of the PostScript files.
