In answer to my own question, I found a free xtension that works with Quark 4.1, and properly separates spot colorized TIFF files. If anyone is interested, here is the link. It works well on colorized TIFFs, blends, and Photoshop spot color duotones:

Now, if anyone could enlighten me on Quark 4.1 and the proper separation of multi-inks, I would be so grateful. Right now, they separate as process inks, and the Quark website lists the problem, but not the solution.

I'm not sure you can with Quark. Unless someone corrects me, Quark only knows how to take a colorized tiff and separate it in process.
I recently preflighted a catalog for a client who had colorized (black to
white) a tiff in Quark 5 and Acrobat 6. The image would not rip correctly,
although it did in Acrobat 5.
You may have to use Photoshop to create a spot color duotone, then import it
into Quark.
I hope this helps.

I have a Quark 4.1 doc which utilizes 3 inks: 2 pantone and black.
The doc contains a grayscale tiff file that has been colored in Quark using
the two pantone inks: one for the background and one for the image itself.
Problem
When I make a pdf of this file, the pdf shows the image to be composed of
cmyk, not the two spots specified in quark.
I have tried saving the page as an eps with DCS 2 specified and then
distilling that, but the results are the same.
How do I make a viable pdf with true spot separations?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
