    The TIFF format doesn't support spot colour at all, while Illustrator
    formats -- essentially a variety of PostScript or PDF, depending on
    the version -- do. The only raster format that allows for arbitrary
    spot-colour channels is DCS2, which is a special form of EPSF
    originally developed by Quark.
