HP LF Printing Knowledge Center Printing in Black&White Application: Adobe Photoshop CS Printer: HP Designjet 30/90/130 series Software: HP Driver OS: Windows
The simplest approach to creating a black and white image is taking a color image and converting it to grayscale in a photo imaging program such as Photoshop. In addition, although converting an image from color to grayscale is easy, the opposite operation is complex, in this case it is better to have it in color. If your image is already converted, you only have to bypass the section 5.
• Click OK. 4. Open the image, File menu > Open…: • If the document has an embedded color profile that does not match the current working space, select Use the embedded profile. Otherwise, select Assign working space. • Click OK. 5. Convert the image to grayscale. We present you two ways to perform the conversion, choose the best one for you: a) Let Photoshop do the conversion, Image menu > Mode > Grayscale.
