do you, really?

Since eps is basically a container format, that can mean anything ... or nothing.

Upsampling an image can be a p... let's just say, it can be quite cumbersome.
Start at the point, where you create those images: is it possible to use vector graphics format for them?
If not, try to figure out some way to create those images in the required resolution.
(since I have no idea how you did create said images, I can't be more specific at this point)

Hi Nooha,

EPS files are commonly scalable PostScript files, in that case they should be fine at any resolution. However, EPS files may contain bitmaps or can be converted from bitmap files, which could bring up a resolution issue.

Would you like to show us such an image? You could post them as attachment to a forum post.
