    If they have been a good client, and you foresee getting more work from them, then give them the files. Make decisions using your best judgment, it's part of doing business. Having said that, you might consider having a talk with your client about why this puts you in an uncomfortable position. Part of what they are paying for is your expertise. Make it clear to them that when things go wrong, and they always do (like noticing a font has substituted courier after the print run is finished) that THEY are responsible for any mess that occurs.

    Speaking of fonts, if you are going to send over the files, do not send the fonts. They need to buy their own fonts if they want to do their own design work.

    • +1 for fonts...where i work gives out fonts like they're nothing and drives me crazybriareos
    • I would report that fucking place in a heartbeat. They do not possess the right to distribute commercial fonts!chalk
