Print figures as eps -> wrong resolution

Hello together,
i need to save a lot of figures as .eps files to use in Latex. Since they should not be scaled in Latex (fonts get too small and so on), I want to save the figures in the right size directly in Matlab. When I open a figure and click on 'Save as', everything is fine. Now I don't want to do this for each figure separately wherefore I wrote a simple skript that loads the .fig and saves it as an .eps.
filename = get(gcf, 'FileName');
print(gcf, '-depsc2', '-loose', filename(1:end-4))
The problem is now that the image becomes about 3 times as big and I don't know why. I tried to play with the resolution by using
'-r300' or
'-r0'
but I could not manage to save the figure in the same size I see it in Matlab. Does anybody know an answer?
Greetings, Johannes

Are you using the Painters renderer and create a vector EPS file, or the OpenGL renderer and a bitmap EPS?

Use the 'PaperPosition' of the figure instead of the -r argument of print to set the size of the created EPS file. The -r argument influences the resolution of the embedded TIFF preview for EPS files.
