What about using the "convert to solids" in Sep Studio? Wouldn't that produce clean solid spot colors from raster files? I ask because the live trace functionality in Illustrator just isn't very good as there is a degradation of quality 99% of the time. You can always "create work paths" in Photoshop and then export "workpaths to Illustrator", which is a far better method to convert raster to vector, but still expect some loss of quality. It is minimal loss, but still some loss. Can you speak to how the "convert to solids" function works in SS? Thank you!
