Congrats!

FYI, TIFF and EPS files don't show up on webpages, so if you do find somewhere to host them, people would need to download them and open with another program.

As for quality, I can only show as much as was in the original data. You might consider plotting the original data at 2x or even 4x size and then reducing it with more colors (to allow anti-aliasing).
