Mac OS X's default print format is Postscript / PDF, so it's also the
default choice for the screen capture because it basically prints the
screen.

PNG is a horrible image format that takes longer to decompress and has
bigger files than JPEG. TIFF without compression is much better,
especially for print use. Websites that insist on using PNG format
images take much longer to download and display via a dial-up
connection.
