They say they can take the artwork in the following formats:

QuarkXpress 3.0/4.0, JPEG, PDF, or EPS.

QuarkXPress i don't use. I'd imagine the JPEG's resolution would have to be through the roof (like 6,000 - 10,000 dpi or something ?). Then there's PDF, and as for EPS. Typically i'd send an EPS (it being compatible with everything i've seen so far), but every export of EPS (whether it comes outta illustrator or indesign) always comes out with less quality than it does with a PDF.

and to be honest, everytime i export an EPS i'm scared it'll get printed, and someone somewhere will start bi*ching about the quality of the work etc etc.
