I'm told the answer is to make sure the JPEGs are saved at 300dpi and  
at the highest level of quality. I did this with a test page from  
InDesign and examined it 1:1 in PhotoShop and the text looked fine.

The alternative is PNG files, of course. I'll have to look into that.  
Why don't they just use PDFs I wonder?

Cheers, P.
