If PMS (Pantone) Match is required please send vector file or layered PSD file and indicate PMS (Pantone) color matches on hard copy.
Avoid transparency functions in Illustrator. This includes gaussian blur and drop shadows.
Save raster files larger than 12000 pixels in any direction as .eps files.
Use raster .eps files for images with clipping paths, not tiff files.
