EPS files always look lousy in FrameMaker because Frame only displays a
low-res preview of the file. (They print to PDF properly, though.) When
you save your Photoshop file as EPS, make sure you select the option in
the EPS dialogue to create an 8-bit TIFF preview. It sounds like you may
have selected the 1-bit preview option for your B&W file, which gives an
even coarser display.
