Matthew: I noticed this "problem" about 2-3 years ago, as Quark 3 was doing that as well. >From what I gather, it's more of a "Quark quirk" than anything you can control. >From what I gather, Quark software engineers determined that anything with a .jpg extension was going to be 72ppi regardless of what settings may have been saved with photoshop. What I do is supply "proxies" that are the same height/width of the image at my archive ppi setting (usually 500 or 600ppi) or the clients requested 300ppi (or whatever the print process will require), and then downsample them to 72ppi using the technique I describe at (http://ControlledVocabulary.com/imagedatabases/downsampling.html). For example, a 5400ppi scan of a color slide I store as an 8 x 12 inch image at 600ppi, then downsample to 8 x 12 at 72ppi. If the client spec's the use at 200percent, then I know to make the image 16 x 24 inches at 300ppi. Hope that helps.
