Making a living as I do in the publishing industry, I’ve learned the ins and outs of such things as CMYK versus RGB, bleeds, trim sizes, spine thicknesses . . . and resolution. Every now and then I have to deal with someone who has learned none of these things, yet still attempts to work with them, resulting in unfortunately predictable disaster. So, just to make it crystal-clear—uh, sorry, couldn’t resist—here’s a detail of “Tomorrow’s Girls”. The left half is at 300 dpi resolution; the right half is at 72 dpi resolution. The former is print-quality; the latter is most emphatically not and is in fact suitable only for viewing on a monitor.

So, if you’re ever faced with the same problem, you can refer folks to this image, which is, I hope, worth the thousand words of explanation you otherwise would have to use—possibly without success.
