eips can also display png and jpg images but those are harder to generate.

My complete setup is: jailbreak + mkk + KUAL + perl (compiled for kindle, someone in the Forums did it...) + mey Perlscript that generates the bmp
Try the other direction -
Create as correct bmp -> convert to .jpg or .png -
That will ensure that it is easy to create for your script and can be displayed on any Kindle (depending on options to imagemagck of course).

Not all Kindles have imagemagck installed, but the SS add-in includes a copy.

Otherwise, you would have to write a different script for each different Kindle model screen (they are not the same at the eips level or lower).
