AV1 (and thus AVIF) appears to be designed for screens (works in YUV color space).

If you want to print, PDF is probably still your best bet.

AV1 can also encode RGB color space. Such usage would probably be more prevalent in the still image use case.

Actually I munged two issues. CMYK is for print but DPI is for retina images.
