Try this:
In Quark's Print Dialog, go to the Output Tab and Change Print Colors from
'Composite CMYK' to 'As Is'. I use a Color Server, but whatever you do DON'T
let Quark do the color conversion. I had a designer immediately notice this
on some 16 page Contract Proof Sigs. The AS Is option is equivalent to
Distillers's "Leave Color Unchanged" setting.
An aside: I was working on a Turkish Magazine yesterday and there was a
problem with some characters being missing from a Turkish Font; I loaded the
Font into FontLab to regenerate it AND change its code page and still the
characters were showing as missing; I typed the same text with missing
characters into Indesign CS and that showed up immediately. I ended up using
a different font for the missing characters (it was punctuation symbols). I
won't bash Quark but I never have these types of issues with Indesign. It's
no wonder their offering FREE tech support; they gottta.
(I SO hate that program.)

In the OPI case, Prinergy is performing the RGB to CMYK conversion. In the
non-OPI case, QuarkXPress is performing the conversion. Either its CMS is
not on, which results in less than ideal RGB to CMYK conversions, or the CMS
is configured improperly (either an incorrect assumed source profile, or
incorrect destination profile - or in a rare case the wrong profile is
embedded in the RGB TIFF.)
