It isn't that EPS files are not supported. They are. But its how they are supported that causes the result you see. EPS files are a Vector Graphics Image format, while IM deal only with Raster Graphic Formats. For details see http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/~anthony/graphics/imagick6/formats/#vector IM can not deal with EPS directly. Basically this means that it converted an EPS file to a Raster format and part of that conversion results in the changes you see. If you need an EPS to remain EPS, then don't use IM. If you want 300dpi, set a -density 300 before reading EPS and converting it to an internal raster image. As for CMYK preservation, the cove for handing EPS files of multiple colors is already extremely complex, which means prevering the color style may not be posible.
