Limitations on the Printing Functionality of SDI Portal

Printing WMS World Map http://www2.demis.nl/wms/wms.ashx?WMS=WorldMap:

This service restricts image size requests to a maximum of 2001 pixels in width and a maximum of 2001 pixels in height (such big images can be requested when trying to print in high DPI). For image requests that do not conform to this restriction, an exception report is served instead of the image, hence the blank image as a print result.

Exception report from the service is as follows:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>

<!DOCTYPE ServiceExceptionReport SYSTEM "http://www2.demis.nl/WMS/exception_1_1_1.dtd" >

<ServiceExceptionReport version="1.1.1">

<ServiceException>

Printing Google Maps:

Google Maps are not printed in SDI Portal. There is a functional limitation involving difficulties with the proper detection of the returned image.

Printing WMS served with scale bands:

There are differences in the view of a map in the map window and the resulting print-out.

These differences appear when the service layers are served by the service in different scales. Map scale can differ from the scale of a print-out, and in this case there are differences between the appearance of a map window and the print-out.
