reparing images for the screen is a snap compared to what you have to
go through to get images ripe for the printing process. If all you ever
go through to get images ripe for the printing process. If all you ever
want to do is print your images to a desktop laser or inkjet printer, the task
is a little easier, but you still must take some guidelines into account. And
prepping your images for offset printing? Well, throw in an additional set of
guidelines. It’s not rocket science, mind you. If you stick to the
basic rules and, more importantly, spend some time develop-

Mode, and Format
If you’re not familiar with the concept of resolu-
tion, I suggest taking a look at Book II, Chapter 1.
That’s where I cover all the basics on resolution,
pixel dimension, resampling, and other related
topics. For full descriptions on color modes and file
formats, see Book II, Chapter 2. That said, the next few
sections give you the lowdown on the proper settings for an
image that will ultimately go to print.

Resolution and modes
Table 1-1 provides some guidelines on what resolution settings to use for
the most common type of output. Remember these are just guidelines. They

like that. You need to communicate with your service bureau, offset printer,
or client and get specifications and/or recommendations. (See the section,
“Working with a Service Bureau,” later in this chapter.)
