See page 311, in the Postscript Language Reference, third edition for an 
example of using the currentfile as a /DataSource. Pushing a string that 
is image data on the stack is subject to memory limits. If you don't 
have this book and you are programming in Postscript get it.

This method works well unless the same large image will be used many 
times, then if the printer (or rip) has a local disk that can be written 
to, you could write the images data to a file and reuse it many times.
