Printing color separations
About color separations
To reproduce color and continuous-tone images, printers usually separate artwork into four plates (called process
colors )—one plate for each of the cyan, magenta, yellow, and black portions of the image. You can also include custom
inks (called spot colors ). In this case, a separate plate is created for each spot color. When inked with the appropriate
color and printed in register with one another, these colors combine to reproduce the original artwork.
The process of dividing the image into two or more colors is called color separating , and the films from which the
plates are created are called the separations .
Composite image printed on a color laser printer compared to four-color separations printed on an imagesetter.
To produce high-quality separations, you should work closely with the print shop that will produce your separations,
consulting its experts before beginning each job and during the process.
