This is with resample off, so the final product will be printed at 200ppi. As part of our (forensic) workflow, we print images at 500%. There are different ways of doing this, but some people in the office specify this in the Print Preview Pane, whereas I do it directly to the image in PS before going to print.
After switching to CS3 from CS, it was noticed that 500% for a 1000ppi image (physically less than 36mm X 24mm at 1:1) was being limited to a bit less than 400%. An error box would pop up saying the value must be between 0.00% and XXX.XX%... and it would automatically select the maximum in the range.
For a 1000ppi original image, the upper range would be around 370%. I tried it with a 2400 ppi image (5MB) and was limited to ~150%. Apparently this is not a specific number, but some sort of resolution-based maximum.
The printer used for output doesn't appear to matter as we've tried a couple of different ones.
Is there some sort of maximum percent of image size allowed for printing, based on resolution that can be selected in the Print Preview Pane?
