Here's a quick example of how to generate a printable text label with ImageMagick:

convert -rotate 90 -pointsize 200 label:"Lorem Ipsum" -flop -bordercolor white -border 80x80 -resize 128x -monochrome label.png

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

I find that setting antialiasing and strokewidth make the prints look nicer.

An example is

convert -monochrome \
  -font Courier-Bold \
  -background white \
  -fill black \
  -size x128 \
  -gravity west \
  -pointsize 32 \
  +antialias \
  -strokewidth 0.5 \
  caption:"Test\nTest2\nTest3\nTest4" \
  write.pbm
