Step by step
  1. Pick the inks

    Extract a palette to pull a handful of inks from your image, so the separation prints with real colours from the artwork itself.

  2. Separate

    Add the Separation effect · two to four inks, dot gain to taste, a nudge of misregistration. Overlaps mix true third colours the way a press does.

  3. Films out

    Export one black positive per ink, named by its colour · ready to burn screens or feed a duplicator.
