Because XPress does a horrible job when doing the RGB>CMYK conversion (it
does this automatically for non-EPS images) when printing composite.
Saving as EPS essentially forces XPress to wholesale send the image to the
printer without touching it. If you're in XPress vesion 4.1, go to the Print
window and click on the Output tab. One option, Print Colors, can be changed
to Composite RGB. TIFF will be sent as RGB to the printer, and the
conversion will look like what you're getting from the RGB EPS file.
If you're in version 4 through 4.04, download the PrintRGB XTension from
quark.com and install it. RGB TIFF will be sent as RGB.
OR you can purchase Praxisoft's CompassProXT (I looked at the demo and was
impressed; it almost puts QuarkXPress color management on-par with other
layout apps) and set it up using profiles.
