- Select the image. Enlarge vertically and horizontally by 500% (ensuring
- that you are in 8 bit mode and in grayscale)
- Change mode to '1 bit' mode.
- It dithers for a while.
- Print to stylewriter at a setting of 20%.
- Voila.
-
- Done.
-
- The newer SWII drivers though, seem to do a pretty darn good job at
- grayscale as well, so that should eliminate the need to do it through
- GifConverter.
-
- However, GifConverter is better (in my opinion) because you can reduce the
- gamma down to about .5 (.7 is my personal preference) because the SW's
- ink is so black...thus the image comes out more or less approximating
- what is on a grayscale screen and not so dark.
-
- Just my $0.02 worth
