Printing Issue with Live Trace

We just finished up printing a 4/4 brochure that went through composite proofs and a press check without catching this problem. The client created vector art using the Live Trace feature in CS2.
Here's the before print image:


And here's the after print image:


Wouldn't (shouldn't) Illy have a threshold setting so that the darker background wouldn't come thru the lighter foreground image?

We will be reprinting the job and I found in the RIP that if I turn off overprint and re-rip, it looks fine. But I don't feel safe turning off overprint for the entire job. And I could go through and manually set what needs to trap and overprint manually.

Just seems Illy should have handled it.
Thanks!
