Is the PNG to TIFF conversion completely lossless?

Yes — both formats store pixels without loss, so the TIFF is an exact copy of the PNG's image data. Nothing is recompressed lossily at any stage; only the container and metadata handling change.

Does TIFF keep the PNG's transparent background?

TIFF supports alpha channels, so the transparency is carried over in the file. Be aware that some older viewers and print RIPs ignore TIFF alpha and show a black or white background — if a print vendor is involved, ask whether they want the image pre-flattened.

Why do publishers want TIFF when PNG is also lossless?

Convention and tooling: prepress software, scanners, and archival systems were built around TIFF decades before PNG mattered, and TIFF adds CMYK support, ICC profile handling, and multi-page storage that PNG lacks. For pure pixel fidelity they're equivalent; for print pipelines TIFF fits the machinery.
