Another cool thing I learned in this whole exercise.....
When you rasterize the file in Illustrator, if you check the "create clipping mask" option you'll get a very good clipping path. (not sure if previous versions of Illustrator had this but I'm using CS3)
You copy the art from the rasterized Illustrator file, paste into a new Photoshop document, go back to Illustrator and copy the outer path, paste it as a path into the Photoshop document (it pastes right in place) then make it a clipping path. Awesome, you can usually learn at least one thing every day in this line of work. This one's a really good one!
But don't forget...in the end...if you really want it all to turn out great....
Bring it back into Quark, save the page as an eps, import it into Pagemaker, print a postscript file then re-rasterize it in Photoshop. (preferrably version 4). Then it SHINES!
