I used to vectorize everything and sep from Illy but now I'm simply requiring art at print size 350ppi or higher and I'm liking PS > .dcs 2.0 > Illy > Accrurip a lot. I wish there was a way to '86 the composite cmyk and view the spot colors more accurately once placed though. I think the worst are sponsor logos for back prints- 72dpi web clips all the way.That's almost exactly what we do now, except we keep the RGB channels as well, and save as a PS file. Then imported into Illy, you get the RGB pretty preview, but only the select the spot color channels in the print dialog. True, it's not the spot channels preview, but it's much better than the DCS color composite...Steve
