THE PRINT FUNDAMENTALS
What is online
color separation?
Online color separation for screen printing breaks a full-color design into individual ink channels, or plates, using a browser-based tool. Each channel represents ink to print through a separate screen.
InkSplit analyzes your artwork and helps create spot color channels, simulated process separations, white underbase, highlight white, or CMYK plates. Review and refine the result before exporting for your production workflow.
That means you can prepare separations for T-shirts, posters, and apparel without installing desktop software or tracing every channel by hand.

Good questions.
Clear answers.
Everything starts with your artwork.
What is online color separation for screen printing?
Online color separation is the process of converting a full-color image into separate color channels (plates) using a web-based tool, without needing to install desktop software like Photoshop. It prepares your artwork for burning onto individual screens.
How does InkSplit separate colors online?
InkSplit analyzes your uploaded artwork and generates spot color, simulated process, or CMYK channels. You can preview the result, adjust individual channels, and use white underbase and highlight white controls to prepare the separation for your print workflow.
Do I need Photoshop for this?
No. InkSplit is a standalone browser-based tool. Upload your artwork and export EPS DCS 2.0 files or separated image channels without opening Photoshop.
Which separation method should I use?
Spot color works well for artwork with distinct ink colors. Simulated process is useful for detailed illustrations and gradients, especially on dark garments. CMYK uses cyan, magenta, yellow, and black for process printing, typically on light garments.
What can I download?
InkSplit supports EPS DCS 2.0 and separated image channels, with halftone RIP options for film output. Choose the format that fits your RIP or screen-making workflow. Available downloads depend on your plan or credits.
