I think this is a postscript error, from the way it sounds it could be your
images are simply too large.

This from http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/quite/errors.htm#index
limitcheck
The printer has reached an internal limit. Some limits are fixed, some depend on
memory. In level 2, there are fewer fixed limits.
Most common cause is a path too complicated: for instance a cutout, or a drawn
outline; also outlined text.
Simplify. Increase available memory, especially if level 2 (not all level 1
printers will increase path limit if memory is increased).
The limitcheck error can also mean that there is not enough memory to do the
page size and resolution requested. Typical RAM requirements for letter/a4 paper
are 1 MB at 300 dpi; 4 MB at 600 dpi; 7 MB at 800 dpi. Double for A3/11x17
paper. Double for duplex (double sided). Quadruple for colour. This is just to
hold the page; more will be needed (at least 1 MB) for fonts, paths, and other
things.


You might ask this on the prepress newsgroup. Matt Beals may be able to answer
your query.
