Preps doesn't like 500ppi TIFF as source file
This has happened to me on a few jobs, and across different machines running Preps 4 (in Classic mode):
Customer supplies a flattened 8-bit TIFF at 500 ppi (has also occurred with 400 ppi). Since there is type on the job, I want to keep the file at this higher-than-usual res to keep type as crisp as it can be, considering where it comes from.
Since the job is supplied as a TIFF, I can just use the TIFF in my run list. I do this all the time, and it's never a problem with 300ppi images, but for some reason I get an out-of-memory error when I try to print this job from Preps. I increased the memory allocation for Preps to 1/2gig, and still no likey.
Yet, Preps has no problem at all if I place the TIFF into InDesign and write a postscript to use as my source file. This is an OK workaround, but it is an extra step and extra file space (for the postscript) that I would like to eliminate.
Anyone else ever see this issue?
