Please provide an example, it sounds like PlotName is already rasterized.

I updated the question. It now has simple specific examples.

Your ImageResolution -> 2000 case works fine on my computer (OS X with 16 GB of RAM) and produces a 185 Meg file.

I still need to save the file with specified dpi in EPS format and don't know how

You should realize that EPS is a resolution-independent vector graphics format, specifying dpi for EPS in general has no sense!

I have 3GB. I understand then that I arrived to a dead end with Tiff files :(

I see, but if it is a vector graphic format, why the saved file has horrible definition? It looks blurred.

Also, the journal I need the images for asks for an "EPS file with 900 - 1200 dpi", how do I fullfil its expectations?

The EPS files produced with the code in the question looks quite good when converted to PDF and rendered by Adobe Acrobat. They are not blurred in any way, but depending on the settings of the renderer antialiasing may be applied. Here is a screenshot of the first plot in Adobe Acrobat:

As to the journal requirement, I am sure they mean that IF a EPS file contains embedded raster image THEN this image should be 900 - 1200 dpi. If the file does not contain embedded raster images, this requirement is just fulfilled by default.

I recommend you to use EPS format for export since your plots are perfectly compatible with this format. It is surprising that your PDF renderer makes them blurry, what PDF viewer do you use?
