Lots of ID experience here, so ask away. I suspect that what you're running into is the fact that ID displays a low-res copy of imported raster art for speed's sake, then uses the actual high-res art for PDF export. You can either right-click the object -> Display Performance -> High-Quality Display for a single object, or go to View -> Display Performance -> High-Quality Display for the whole document, but both options come with a significant speed penalty. The correct answer is to just trust ID, it knows what it is doing.

That being said, if your artist is using a vector program, have him supply either EPS or AI files (depending on whether or not he's using Illustrator), instead of exporting them as raster graphics on his end. That'll simplify everything (and, with art that simple, shrink the final PDF file size considerably!).

Quick question, are you intending to print this professionally, and do you know what your printers' press settings are?

No plat so you can't PM me, but I'll keep an eye on the thread for any more questions.
