I have no idea what they did but the images look dithered / color
reduced. So possibly it would be better to provide "predithered" images
in b/w or with only 16 fixed gray values (0,16,32,64,...) instead of
arbitrary ones. However, for best results you should then also know
the dpi resolution they're going for (when in doubt it is probably
better to use a lower resolution, because scaling up has less
terrible artefacts than scaling down).

But a nightmare for debugging if you have to invent a new
patentable gadget for every test run ;)

BTW is the limit of your invention a space-filling curve?
