What Is Color Separation?

Color separation is the process of dividing full-color artwork into individual layers that can be printed one by one on a screen printing press. Each layer represents a specific color such as spot colors, CMYK, grayscale, shadows, highlights, underbase, or special inks.

We specialize in creating clean, accurate, print-ready separations for dark shirts, light shirts, cotton, polyester, and blended fabrics. Great separations save time, reduce mistakes, and ensure vibrant, professional results.
