Hi,

I want to create a hard copy (printed paper) portfolio of some of the designs Ive created, but Im not sure how to print a web page. I think it can be done in PS. If the web site was created in 72 dpi RGB resolution, I'm assuming it wouldnt print well because its not a high resolution CMYK image, am I correct?
Ive already created a CD portfolio, but is there a way to print (hard copy) a nice crisp clean image of a web page to show a client/ employer.

Thank you
 
To get a good printed copy, you will have to work at four times that size. The mac displays 72 pixels per inch on its monitors, WinPC 96. So working on screen size is about four times too small for real good print, needing 300 pixels per inch of data to translate into 300 dots per inch.
When you change image size in Photoshop, and set to 300 without resampling, your image will be much smaller. When you do resample to 3-400% you get too much quality loss. There are some plugng that pretend to be able to give you good upsample quality, but that is more publicity that reality, and even more so when your original is a jpg.

So for print, you have to redo your works, but at the number of pixels that is needed for it: for every printed inch, you need 300 pixels. Wide, and high.
