What is the difference between a print and a web media output?
Print
requires a much higher resolution and need to be saved in certain
standard print formats. Some of the most common and universal
print formats for print jobs are TIFF, EPS, and Adobe Acrobat
PDF.
By
creating a graphic in these file formats, the file can be opened
up and printed even without having the original software application
the logo was created in.
Web
graphics require a much smaller resolution (since they only
need to be displayed on screen). That’s why they are
not a good choice for printing, as the quality will appear
very blurred or jagged on paper.
