PDF or TIFF for printing?

hi everyone, new member here and very excited. Some great custom artwork on here - I'm impressed. I'm going to print a few bluray covers at Staples and wondering what the best Photoshop format would be for printing? I did a search via Google and it seems to be between PDF and TIFF. Any insight from members would be appreciated.

Hi and

You will be downloading in .jpg format. Just keep it as is.

The jpg file you download will be fine. You will not improve the quality by changing the format.

for anyone curious I did a test w the same image:

1. - JPG original
2. - JPG converted to PDF
3. - JPG converted to CMYK, PDF with no compression.

Printed at Staples on 32lb Gloss Text paper. The conclusion - they all look exactly the same. So newbies like me, just print as JPG and you'll be fine.
