 Print project typically use large image files and depending on the project can include many of these large images. By default, inDesign sets the "Display Performance" to present an optimized (i.e. crappy) view of your beautiful high res image. Don't worry, if you're working on a smaller project and aren't worried about inDesign gobbling up all of your RAM, you can change the display performance.
