Hey!
When I save a JPEG file in CMYK in Illustrator it ends up looking very strange. It seems to change and darken the colors. I'm attaching an example here. When I change the colors to RGB, that doesn't happen, but I need the colors to be in CMYK, for print. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can solve it?
Thank you!

"When I change the colors to RGB, that doesn't happen, but I need the colors to be in CMYK, for print."
Unless you specifically need a CMYK JPEG for print, I would suggest the following:
1) Create the AI (vector) artwork in CMYK Color Mode:
2) Create a PDF for print based directly on 1);
3) Create a separate RGB version of 1) for web/screen use, and then Save As SVG if applicable, or Save for Web/Export as PNG, or JPEG for artwork containing photo(like) colour transitions.
Ton has already mentioned PDF for print as in 2).
