Print Needs High Resolution And CMYK
Print images should be at least 300 DPI at the final print size. Most print workflows use CMYK color space.
Web Images Use RGB And Lower Resolution
Screen images only need 72 DPI. RGB color space is standard for digital displays.
Keep Separate Workflows For Print And Web
Do not use the same exported file for both print and web. The resolution, color space, and format requirements differ.
