How/where are you printing them?
If at home, 300dpi should suffice.

If at a print shop, then ask then was res to use.

As for colours... probably CMYK i'd imagine. Although if you're printing at home, try sRGB.

Sounds a little vague huh swizz? hehe, Sorry bout dat. Hope it's worth something to ya anywho. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Color Management = Hellish Torture.

Much as I love and admire Adobe's apps, I've just gone through many, many hours of bizarre, maddening overprint/underprint/choking/spreading/trapping hell - which ultimately turned out to be caused by InDesign's CMS. Disable CMS and manually trap = Solution.
