IPG: Are there common output problems that can be avoided?

Fenton: The same output problems we had a decade ago still exist today. Most of these pertain to fonts and graphic file formats. One pervasive problem is that many customers don't send their fonts along with the file. Unless clients send a PostScript file or a correctly prepared PDF file, they need to send their fonts. Programs such as QuarkXPress, InDesign and PageMaker typically embed low-resolution versions of high-resolution files, making the file unprintable.
