Thank you. That's sound advice. However,  I will delivering to the designer
and not the pre press.
The designers do the conversion to CMYK and send to press

Please can you advise either the amount of "Pre-sharpening" you apply

Dear John

I am sure Jorge will have thoughts on this, but my opinion for what it's worth is that you either do the whole job, take the responsibility of getting it right and charge a proper fee for the work, or let the designers do it, they take the responsibility and charge for their services.

The time to do the sharpening for print is after the CMYK conversion...if they are not able to do that, what on earth do they think they are about! They should know how large they are reproducing, the paper stock, what screening and if its AM or FM, if it's CtP FtP the printers etc., etc.

Do BEWARE of getting involved in something you may not be sufficiently conversant with, because you put yourself in the position where you might find someone knocking on your door seeking compensation for a print job that went wrong!

Cheers

Richard
