Illustrator Separations for Vinyl Cutting

Help!
I've got an issue I need to resolve. I'm using cad-cut materials for jerseys and tee shirts, and I've discovered a little problem. Some of the art I'm doing is complicated, and I have to separate each color into a separate EPS file to use CutStudio or Versaworks for cutting. I want to either:

A) Have a way to separate each color used onto different pages, without having to separate them manually.

or

B) Print each separation to an .EPS file. I've done this, but when I import the files, ALL of the lines appear in each file.

WHAT DO I DO!?!?!??!

Thanks for any help!

This is actually a good idea, but my problem is not ease of doing it, it's time. Separating manually is a pain, whether in Illy or Photoshop, I'm looking for a quick answer. Maybe a macro would help?? Anyone know about Corel macros??

Thanks again!
