I happily print pictures of peoples' vacation or their cats on things 
like canvas. As long as the subject matter won't put me in jail, I 
don't really care what it is as long as the bill gets paid and the 
people are decent to deal with.

If the files are a mess, I'lll let the customer know that there may be 
problems, and why there may be problems. Often I help them to fix those 
images, and hopefully they learn something for next time.
