    Morning was bored so I converted the images to vectors, this morning in inkscape using standard settings took 5 mins for all 4. I saved the images at 300 dpi but I also included the .svg files which are resolution independent so you can generate any dpi.

    Now these would need some post processing but I spent literally 5 mins on them, they're simple bitmap traces. Load the image in inkscape, click on the image so it's highlighted! Then select from the drop down menu path -> Trace Bitmap.

    From there you can preview the effect.

    I like the last skull which was done by playing with the settings in Trace Bitmap, make sure you then save it as a .svg the printers should be able to process an SVG but if not you can export the picture to a PNG just make sure you have the right DPI when saving the image.

    You should get on inkscape and play, Youtube is full of tutorials for Inkscape including trace functions and it's open source (Free) so there's really not any excuse not to.
