Sounds like your output should look fine if you went straight to the
typesetter. Why not send one page as a sample and see what the results
look like? It should save you money not to have the printer stripping
things together by hand (or else maybe they're already doing just what
you suggest!). One gotcha might be that the printer is cleaning
up the images at scan time (adjusting gray curve, etc.) which you might
not have the software to do. But give it a try and let us know what
happens.
