I only have a hunch about why the existing labels feel confusing, beside the reasons already mentioned in the thread...
The part of the reason is that they are named after the presumption what the user wants them for (web, print). I see from the discussion that this presumption is misleading. So, the new label should not presume anything, but rather tell the user the actual properties of the result. An additional tip or an explanation could explain the settings in more detail or mention the the presumed purpose of this setting. Alex
