I am trying to print these images to a 200dpi Datamax label printer:



When they print, they are really pixellated. How can I resolve this?
The image size is 2.5cmx2.5cm and I am printing the image at this size.

I don't really know much about images/printing, so I am hoping this is something simple.

The image I have inserted is:
1000 x 1000 pixels
Print sie 25x25 mm
1016 x 1016 ppi
Indexed Colour (2 colour)

Here is a photograph of a label from the old printer, using the old software.
The top image is from the old system (same printer).
The bottom one is from my system. They are both approx 2.5cm.
Mine is visibly more pixelated and i don't understand why.

It was the printer driver. I am now opening a socket and writing DPL to the printer and the image is perfect.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but if it looks like this...



...then that's as good as it's going to get. 200dpi is pretty low resolution for a printer and curves like this will always show of the pixelation that results to great effect.

I've reduced the res to 200dpi for this illustration. If you do the same when you're preparing files for that printer then you will know what quality you are going to get in advance.
