    RGB looks great on screen because a screen is RGB. When you switch to CMYK, the screen can't show CMYK, so it switches to a duller looking screen image when converting the file. What prints out will still be bright as the ink can achieve. Its just the screen version that looked unreasonably bright in RGB and now artificially dulled down in CMYK.

    Always work in RGB though, and always keep an RGB layered master file. Time to start exploring those conversion profiles to push the relative vibrancies as far as you can without stepping the tonal range.
