I have a Seiko Label Pro where I can put a graphic on my labels. I’d like to use a photograph – but it must be in Black & White – 200 dpi according to Seiko. The size of the finished photo on the label would be approximately
0.6" x 0.6". I converted a color photograph to B&W (don’t know if I used
the proper technique). The printer came with a sample label which has a photo on it. The photo looks like a photo you would see in the Wall Street Journal – sort of all dots. This is fine but I can’t seem to get that result. Sure could use some help here with various techniques that I could try. Wish I could put a copy of the sample label in a posting – but I can’t. If you need to see a copy to see what I’m trying to accomplish, I’ll need an email address. Thanks…………

Under Image>Mode convert your photo to Grayscale. Then convert to Bitmap and choose the output resolution. In the Method dropdown choose Halftone Screen and and in the next dialog choose what kind of dots you want. That should so it.
