Rule of thumb is that the image dpi should be 1.5 to 2 times the screen (lpi) you are printing at. Anything higher than that does not add anything to the quality of the printed image. On the contrary, the downsampling in the RIP doesn't only take up processing time it is also very likely that you will loose some sharpness in the process. Much better to do that yourself where you have full control.
