Both TIFF and EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) are professional print production formats, but they serve different roles. TIFF stores raster pixel data with rich metadata, while EPS wraps images (raster or vector) in a PostScript program for device-independent page description. Converting TIFF to EPS enables TIFF images to be placed in legacy prepress workflows, LaTeX documents, and page layout applications that require PostScript input.
In professional print production, TIFF is the standard for raster content and EPS for placed graphics. Some older prepress workflows and RIP systems require all placed images in EPS format, even when the content is purely raster. This conversion wraps TIFF's pixel data in a PostScript program with proper bounding box and DSC comments.
Legacy prepress workflows and older RIP systems may require all placed graphics in EPS format. When TIFF images from photography, scanning, or medical imaging need to enter these specific print pipelines, EPS conversion provides the expected format. Some older versions of InDesign, QuarkXPress, and FrameMaker handle EPS placement more reliably than TIFF.
LaTeX documents compiled with the traditional dvips workflow require EPS for included graphics. TIFF images from scientific instruments, medical scans, or professional photography that need to appear in academic papers or technical reports must be converted to EPS for this compilation path.
Ghostscript encodes the decoded TIFF pixel data within an EPS (PostScript Level 2) wrapper. The image is encoded using ASCII85 for reasonable file size. DSC comments include %%BoundingBox with dimensions in PostScript points. For 16-bit TIFFs, data is quantized to 8-bit for PostScript compatibility. Multi-page TIFFs yield only the first page. The EPS conforms to EPSF 3.0 specification.
The EPS contains a faithful representation of the TIFF's decoded pixel data (at 8-bit depth). No additional lossy compression is applied. TIFF's ICC profile cannot be embedded in standard EPS, though the pixel values themselves are preserved. For 16-bit TIFFs, the quantization to 8-bit may lose tonal range. Print quality depends on the image DPI relative to the output device.

TIFF to EPS conversion bridges professional raster images and PostScript-based print production workflows. The conversion preserves image quality while wrapping it in the format that legacy RIP systems and LaTeX dvips expect.
