Just in case I wasn't clear (which is not uncommon for me!) I don't suggest sending a Photoshop file to the printer. I use the Illustrator-Photoshop onversion as an interim tool to preview the design simply because I don't get a great visual while working in Illustrator.

While I may create background graphics, larger text "heading" graphics, do photo adjustments etc. in Photoshop, these are always then placed in Ilustrator, Indesign etc (depending on what software you have and what the printer can take and the size/type of project) for layout & text copy.

I don't suggest sending Photoshop files for final print. You simply won't get the crispness in your text that you get from Illustrator, Pagemaker, Indesign or Quark.
