NIck,

Another thing to keep in mind is that you want to look over your files at "Actual Pixels", 
or 100% magnification.  This is the only "true" display of the image.  All other 
magnifications are proxy views, and don't represent a completely accurate view of the 
image.  This may not solve problems but can certainly alert you to them before you 
print....
