I'd like to prevent people from printing & saving images that are on our
website? These images are at a 72 resolution, but still look okay. We're a
photo studio and want people to purchase not download from web.
 
Put you Photo Studio name across the image.

a Service Pack or security update, please contact

If the problem can be shown to have been caused by a
security update, then there is usually no charge for the call.

Keep them small and at low res.

There is NO way of preventing people from 'taking' your images...because they are automatically downloaded to their machine in order for their browser to view them.
 
This is going to be difficult, because not only do you have to track them
all down, but you will have to restrain them as well, most probably against
their will (a few may enjoy it). As a result, you could incur multiple
kidnapping charges and/or lawsuits.

OK, use low-quality samples of the images on your web page (or place
water-mark through the samples).

Then have a e-commerce (shopping cart etc) set up so a customer puts the
images they want in a "shopping cart" and pay by C/card at the "check-out".
Then they can be either emailed or you'd fill the order by producing the
prints and snail-mailing to the customer, or once the c/card payment is
processed, email the customer with a 'private' http: link to a download page
where they can "pick up" their purchases. This page would say expire within
30 days of receipt of c/card payment confirmation for example.

You could password protect it, or have the customer enter the purchase order
number in order to access it (or even put in their c/card no over https:
secure connection to gain access to the private page etc etc.)
