How do I print a graph in black & white?

Hello all,
I've tried the Print VI Upon Completion and the Report Generation tools. Neither seem to be able to print a single or multiple graphs in black that is dark enough to read. For some reason, they all print in grey. Is there a way to print in B&W using native LabVIEW tools?
I built a piece of SW (see attached, requires IMAQ Vision) to use the IMAQ Vision tools to perform a color equalization, which works pretty well. This seems to be VAST overkill for such a simple task (not to mention complications with licensing for EXE versions). Is there an easier way to do this?
I used the tool above with the Report Gen tools. For some reason, no matter how I set the margins (standard report), the Report Gen tools always resize the image to leave >2 INCHES of dead space at the right (landscape view). How can I correct this? The min margin for left and right seems to be 0.25", although they don't seem to work for images.
Thanks kindly,
Derek

Hi Derek,
Have you tried changing the setting in Page Setup on this VI to affect the change?

  • How convert a color PDF File to black & white (gray scale...no color)

    How convert a color PDF File to black & white (gray scale...no color)??? creative cloud cs6... Acrobat etc

    Hi, just wanted to add my 2¢
    I've been in publishing over 25 years and live in Acrobat for making my final files. Currently with a newspaper.
    This is what we do:
    • Tool Panes > Print Production Window
    • Select CONVERT COLORS
    • Midway down under OUTPUT INTENT, check Convert Colors to Output Intent
    • In the associated drop down menu, I choose (because I'm printing on newsprint) DOT GAIN 20% – If you're working on better stock, choose a lower dot gain percentage.
    • Click OK – this will convert the file
    • Save
    Note: this affects the file you're working with. Make sure that you use this method on a COPY if you want to retain the original color version.
    I think if you compare my method to the Preflight method, you'll see a tighter contrast and better blacks. I've always felt the Preflight method left continuous tones a little muddy.
    Now if there was only a way to add that to ACTIONS...!

  • Printing in color or black & white in VB6 and Crystal Reports 8.5

    Post Author: elsyvaldez
    CA Forum: General
    How can I programatically print in color or black & white?  I am programming in Visual Basic 6.0 using the Crystal Reports 8.5 Active X Designer Runtime Report object (CRAXDRT.dll).    Our users want the option to print either in color or black & white to a color printer.  I am trying to print many separate reports (for a large group of accounts) in one click of the VB6 "Print" command button without having to display the Printer Setup dialog box for each separate report.  The Report object in CRAXDRT has a method to display the printer setup dialog box but has no property to change "Color" mode (similar to the "PaperOrientation" or "PrinterDuplex" properties).  Is there a way that our users can bring up the Printer Setup dialog box just once, choose color mode, and then make this choice effective for all separate reports printed using CRAXDRT?

    Hi Sastry
    I can print multiple pages from notepad without any issues. It is only the print from the crystal OCX control that has the issue. It has it's own print dialog box.
    Thanks

  • How can I print a booklet without a white outline around the border?

    How can I print a booklet without a white outline around the border? I'd like the front page to be covered entirely.

    You either need a borderless printer, or you have to print on oversize paper and trim off the bleed.

    Possible print in greyscale or black&white mode with empty color cartriges and black full? (HP Photosmart Photo D7163)

    With some printers it is possible. Try going to the printer properties and selecting Grayscale pprinting.

  • How can I convert RGB Color to Black-White Color?

    Dear everyone!
    I am using Photoshop CS5. I have got a file from my customer which is done as RGB and the resolution is 300dpi. There are black texts and color images in the file. I wish to print Black-White Process Film (1 black color), but I don't know how to solve it. I started converting my file to Grayscale and then the black texts are not black enough because it becomes lighter. When I go to Level and adjust the color, both the image and texts becomes darker. What must I do to make only texts blacker without effecting the image?
    Please find the attached file for the reference.
    For more information, please let me know.
    My Best Regards,
    LUCK

    What file format was supplied to you? Was it truly RGB @ 300ppi or did you rasterize a PDF?
    300ppi is lousy for text. You might converse with your customer to instruct them on the ideal way to supply a file to you.

  • Photoshop Elements 9 - how to highlight one colour in a black/white picture?

    hi guys
    with which feature can I highlight just one object (one colour) when the rest of the picture is black/white?
    Thanks for your help!

    Open a color image in Full Photo Edit
    On the top menu click Layer >>Duplicate Layer >>OK
    Enhance >>Convert To Black & White >>OK
    Add a layer mask by clicking on the layer mask icon at the bottom of the layers pallet.
    Select a brush and adjust its size, then make sure your foreground color is set to black.
    Gently brush over the area where you want to show the color from the background layer. If you make a mistake change the foreground color to white to erase what you just did, then switch back to black again.
     

  • How can I print using only the black ink cartridge?

    I have a officejet 4620 that I need to know how to set up to have the option of using the black ink cartridge only. I rarely ever use color ink and I dont want $30 worth of color ink to dwindle away while printing pages that do not need any sort of quality printing. How can I change this setting? I have a Mac and there are hardly any options when trying to print anything. 
    Thanks!

  • How do I print more copies, in black and white, or on specialized media?

    The Universal Crossword Print Widget has been discontinued, and there will be no new content. However, you can still receive the Universal Crossword printable by subscribing on your HP web-enabled printer’s front panel, or by visiting HPConnected.com (in the U.S.) or ePrintCenter.com (elsewhere). Note: You will need an HP printer to subscribe.
    Here’s how to uninstall the Print Widget:
    Click the Windows Start button.

  • CS4...How do you draw/paint in pure black & white?

    Sorry for the dumb questions but I'm absolutely new to this stuff and I'm getting a lot of great info here which I'm keeping meticulous notes of...
    I've figured out how to paint with CS4 in colors and "near" black/grey/ white (by going to the extreme left of the color square in any given color but it still seems as if if it's influenced by the "parent" color whose square I happen to be choosing from within. Is there a "pure monochrome black/grey/white range" of tones that I'm missing somewhere and, if so, what's the procedure for toggling back and forth quickly/easily between this monochrome and color?
    Thanks.

    Since we don't have multiple mode images, you might consider doing your 'pen and ink' black and white image in one grayscale document and then saving that image again under a different name in rgb to do your color work. Make sure you are doing your grayscale work on a layer with transparency over a white background. That way you can save the grayscale image layer with transparency and overprint it over your color gouache work as a separate file, black over color, so to speak. Use your black layer in your rgb image as a guide then turn it off to save your color work to print separately.
    Actually, you may get just as good a result with less fuss by following the "0,0,0 is pure black; 255,255,255 is pure white" rule for your b&w illustration layer and do your colors on other layers.
    I don't have experience with 'Painter' but you might want to check into that program if you want another take on using watercolor or other illustration styles in your document.
    Post a link to your work here. We want to see the results of our recommendations please.

  • How can you erase part of the black & white layer on Photoshop CS6?

    I've been trying to earse part of the b&w layer to have color pop because it's easier for some floweres instead of magic lassoing. Unfortunatly my earser tool will not let me earse some of the black and white layer. What can I do to fix this issue?

    Try using a Layer Mask, and paint black on the mask to cause the Black and White adjustment to become "transparent" in those areas and reveal color.
    If you cause the transparency to go outside the bounds of what you want, paint white on the Layer Mask to make it apply the adjustment layer effect again.
    Grayscale on the Layer Mask will cause partial transparency.
    Have fun discovering the neat stuff you can do with Layer Masks.

  • How to print a graph in which internal table has more than 32 entries?

    hiii experts
    i am trying to make a line graph using 'gfw_pres_show' function module.
    but in report internal table has more than 32 entries
    so how can i print a graph having more than 32 entries?

    Hi ricky_lv,
    According to your description, there is main report and subreport in it, when the subreport spans across multiple pages, you want to show column headers on each page. If that is the case, we can set column headers visible while scrolling in main report.
    For detail information, please refer to the following steps:
    In design mode, click the small drop down arrow next to Column Groups and select Advanced Mode.
    Go to your Row Groups pane, click on the first static member.
    In properties grid, set FixData to True.
    Set RepeatOnNextPage to True.
