WARNING: Photoshop 27.10 has a bug that reads DCS/EPS files incorrectly. We recommend sticking to 27.9.1 or below for now. We are actively working with Adobe to resolve this.
What is Online Color Separation?
Online color separation for screen printing allows print shops and designers to break down complex artwork into individual ink colors using cloud-based software. Instead of relying on expensive desktop applications or manual tracing, online tools like InkSplit automate the process.
The software analyzes the colors in your design and generates:
- Spot Color Channels: Specific ink colors (like Pantone matches) extracted from the design.
- White Underbase: A base layer of white ink essential for printing on dark garments.
- Highlight White: A top layer of white to make bright areas pop.
- CMYK Plates: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black channels for photorealistic prints on light garments.
InkSplit simplifies this workflow by providing a professional-grade engine accessible from any device with an internet connection.
