A TIFF is a bitmap. EPS is scalable. Therefore, the EPS will always be superior, unless the TIFF has been precisely scaled to the exact resolution of a single known output device (even then, the trickery in many printers can get better results out of scalable graphics than out of bitmaps). -- David W.
