Scaling

Ideally, each raster image should be saved at the actual size, and it will be placed in the
document at the optimal resolution for the printer. If the image resolution is correct
for the printer, there is no quality advantage to be gained by scaling an image to a
percentage of its actual size. If you scale a large image to a percentage of its actual size,
you incur unnecessary file transfer time, because the image data for the entire large
image is sent to the printer. If an image is placed multiple times at markedly different
sizes in a document, save a separate version of the image at the correct size for each
placement.
If you need to place an image at greater than 100% in a document, remember that the
output image resolution is affected. For example, if you scale a 200 ppi image to
200%, the image is printed at 100 ppi.
