Grayscale images can be printed as monochrome images

By default, Loftware prints grayscale images differently than monochromatic ones. Monochrome images provide color depth with 1 bit per pixel, while grayscale images provide 8 bits per pixel. Monochromatic images are printed as black and white images. Grayscale images are dithered – Loftware converts different shades of gray to monochromatic dots of various sizes and densities, keeping the impression of shades but printing the image as monochrome.

When building dynamic label templates, your Picture objects on your labels might contain images of various types during the print process. You can force the received images to monochromatic printing. Use this option when printing to a monochromatic printer, such as label printers with on-color ribbon.

You can enable this functionality by adding the EP_BLACKANDWHITE_ prefix to the Picture object name or enabling the Force picture color option.
