Screen Print Color Separation
Screen print color separation: artwork split into spot-color layers, one per screen, with trapping and underbase where needed, ready to burn screens.
About this service
Screen printing prints one color per screen, so the artwork has to be separated into individual layers first. Each separation must register with the others, so colors that meet need a little overlap (trapping), and prints on dark garments usually need a white underbase. We separate your artwork into print-ready spot-color layers set up for your screens and garment colors.
How we build it
- One layer per ink color, set up as spot colors (Pantone-matched on request)
- Trapping between touching colors to hide small registration shifts
- White underbase separations for printing on dark garments
- Registration marks and layer labels for easy screen setup
