Lest we forget two other significants:
1. CYMK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black). CYMK
(and gamut colours) as opposed to RGB (red, green,
blue), which is what most Photoshop-dabblers deal
with. RGB is fine for Web but not necessarily for
print. Sometimes it's necessary to convert an
RGB-colourized design to CYMK for professional
print reasons. This will result in a noticable drop
in spectrum range. Be prepared for that.
2. Expect your designer to be able to profession-
aly shrink your design for Web purposes. Not as
easy as it sounds, because they are (relatively
secretively) ways of doing it, whilst still
maintaining sharpness.

For what it's worth: the majority of professional
commissions are created exclusively in CYMK (and
invariably on Macs) because CYMK and Macs is what
the majority of printhouses work with.
