Ok, thank you Philip.
You definitely have to ask the printer... there are times when you need to cheat by exporting to PNG (at at least 300DPI) and convert the PNG to TIFF with something like GIMP and there are times when you can get away with an EPS or PDF (is the design is simple enough for the export to work). And you may find the occasional stupid which will reject PNG but accept JPEG.

Thanks so much JF. This is a big help. What dpi should I use to export to PNG? Julie
The first time I had to send a file to a printer, I phoned him up and asked what he needed. Seems to me that would be the best place for you to ask. In my case, the printer was pleased I called, as he often has to deal with images in the wrong or inappropriate format.
Sorry I can't answer your question directly. :-(
