EPS vs TIFF

Even before profile-based color management, there have always been some noted color differences between EPS and TIFF (without transfer functions, etc.). You can print out a version of both from the same file and see some difference (albeit slight).

And even though you may not have knowingly embedded a profile, one may have been in it. To know for sure you want to find an AppleScript in one of the ColorSync folders (on OS 9 it is in the Apple Extras folder) that extracts color profiles from any file you place on it.

The other thing, there is also a check box in the EPS save dialog that speaks of PostScript color management. Could that have been checked when the file was saved?

Your situation does sound like something, perhaps in the RIP config?, is compensating for dot gain differently for EPS files than for TIFF...
