Expected, yes, but expected != desired

Your source image is in RGB.  You want to print in CMYK.  At some point
you have to convert your image from RGB to CMYK.  Conversion of RGB
images to CMYK (or visa versa) is problematic.  The two color spaces
don't completely correspond or overlap or some such term.  Since I work
entirely in the RGB world (and since, frankly, I don't understand it
perfectly myself), I'm probably not the best person to explain this but
that's what's going on.
