ImageMagick 6.6.9-7, 6.7.7-10 and bad render on eps files

Hi All,
I'am using ImageMagick to see eps files in web application.
On old server (Ubuntu 12.04, ImageMagick 6.6.9-7) there is no problems (resolution is good and colors too).
On the new server (Ubuntu 14.04, ImageMagick 6.7.7-10) with the same eps file, blacks are not really blacks and the render resolution is clearly bad.

I think I can solve it by installing ImageMagick 6.6.9-7 on the new server, but I don't know where I can find it.
Or maybe there is an other way to solve this issue ?

Thank you for any help.

PS : sorry for my English, I'm french.

Rasterization of EPS files is delegated to Ghostscript, so changes in rendering might be caused by a different version of GS.

Your IM versions are very old. Perhaps your GS versions are also old. I suggest you upgrade both.

Imagemagick was undergoing some significant changes during 6.7.7 - 6.8.5. So that could be a bug. You should upgrade past that if you can. See viewtopic.php?f=4&t=21269.

What is your gs version? You can find that from

Code: Select all

gs -version
Imagemagick only archives source code at the minor version x.x.x-10. See http://www.imagemagick.org/download/releases/
