What Is Color Separation for Screen Printing?
Color separation is the process of dividing a full-color image into individual layers (or channels) that can be printed one by one on a screen printing press. Each layer represents a specific color — for example spot colors, CMYK, grayscale, highlights, shadows, underbase, or special effect inks.
High-quality color separation is essential for producing sharp, vibrant, professional prints on t-shirts, hoodies, posters, and all screen-printed garments. At Color-Separation.com, we specialize in creating clean, accurate, print-ready separations optimized for dark shirts, light shirts, cotton, polyester, and blended fabrics.
A good separation saves you time, reduces ink waste, prevents registration problems, and ensures your final prints look crisp and vibrant.
