Hi,
2400dpi is way to much as you wont gain anything generally over 300-400 for
print, maybe its too much for the memory, you should save it as cmyk eps
binary, and when you supply the artwork you have to supply the scans as
well, just cos they show in indesign doesnt mean they arfe there, pics must
be with the artwork....

cheers
Steve
