That's OK but you must convert the .dvi file in postscript before viewing
and printing. That way will give the best result.
Afterthat you can also convert to pdf for web publication, result will
always be very nice.
I often used this procedure, Mathematica is then a powerfull grapher for
LaTeX !
In fact .dvi files only include a preview of your eps illustrations that is
only useful for page layout.
