How to transfer ONE album or folder from Lightroom CC to Classic

I have thousands of images in my CC catalogue. I just want to migrate a select few, to export them for printing purposes with settings that only Lightroom Classic allows (namely changing dpi). Is this possible at all, or do I need to sync the whole catalogue to Classic first?

Lightroom Classic does not allow changing DPI. It does, however, allow you export with control over the PPI setting. Is that what you mean? If so, be aware that the Lightroom desktop also allows the user to control the PPI setting during export, meaning you wouldn't have to use Classic at all.

To build on Jim's reply. Lightroom desktop can set the PPI of the exported image (images to not have dots, so DPI for an image does not exist). What you need to do is set the dimentions of the exported image to inches or centimeters rather than pixels.
