What would you tell an AD working in Quark to do with tagged image
files that he/she receives in TIF or PSD format ?

Save them out as .eps files.

That way you're sure that Quark will NOT be able to manage it at all,
colorwise. I don't think that it is the intention here? I would give my
files in TIFF format, at least, giving Quark a fighting chance of color
managing the file -- if that's the intention. As you know, the eps
format
ilike the Pharaoh sarcophage, it is meant to seal the data from outside
human intervention and to be passed on to a RIP untouched. In this
scenario,
Quark is thus prevented from ever being able to access the data in
these
tagged images for the purpose of color management. That is, unless
that AD
happens to have iQueue or Autoflow or some kind of
'colormanagment-friendly'
RIP around to which he (or she) can print to and has the capabilities
of
managing eps files with embedded profiles.

True -- for me though ...
I would never want to give Quark an opportunity to try to Color Manage
anything.
If I had to use Quark from the beginning -
instead of just handling incoming files produced in Quark -
I would have the files in the output space before placing
and then send them on their merry way.
It does mean reworking the files for different output usage
but I would rather send finished files through Quark untouched.
Even when I work on clients files in Quark -
I will rework the graphics and place .eps files back in the document.
