Trouble with DPI (stuck at 72/96)

I'm working on a 1063x508 image that is meant to be 300 DPI for print, and after finding answers that are either outdated or unapplicable, I'm more confused than I was before.

I've tried setting the document raster effects to 300 PPI, I've tried rasterizing the project before exporting it and I've made sure that none of my export settings are bottlecapped...and it's still capped at 96 DPI. I understand that DPI refers to print and PPI refers to pixels but they're often used so interchangably that it just makes it more confusing to me. I keep hearing about "a dialog that opens that allows you to set the resolution" when exporting the project but that doesn't seem to be there anymore, even in save for web.

I'm working on a 1063x508 image

Pixels, mm, cm, inches?

Pixels.

So that would be a 9 X 4,31 cm image?

Just export as... and set the ppi to 300

"I've tried rasterizing the project before exporting it"... when you are in Illustrator and you "Export" as .tiff, you are essentially rasterizing the file. In the Export dialogs you set the resolution. Not sure you would not see that unless that function has been removed. You can also select output resolution in the "Print" dialogs. I also preferred the File > Document Setup of the past where you could set the output resolution and bitmap resolution.

I'm well aware of that, it was more of a last resort. I know you can set the image size in the export dialogs but I thought that was something independent from DPI seeing as I've got two images that are the exact same size with different DPI settings.
