Well, since the specification "(on a Mac)" is in the subject line,
suggestions of using non-standard (M$-made-up) graphics formats may not be
all that useful.

I've not had occasion to this, but IIRC, Display has several different
options for the EPS preview type to be used (TIFF image, Postscript image,
maybe others).  The real problem is that the preview sounds like its
defaulted to 72 dpi.  Isn't there also an ImageResolution-> option?  I
imagine that setting this to 300 dpi would work wonders.  I'm sure Help has
all the gory details...
