Spot Process SEPARATION SOFTWARE / Samples
What kind of files can you separate with Spot Process Separation Studio?
Spot Process Separation Studio can separate many art
files as it supports a wide variety of file formats.
Our Best Advice!
When you have a raster image (Photoshop file, Corel
Photo Paint or Painter file, scanned imaged, digital
photograph, or any raster image file (jpeg, TIFF, etc.)
Separation Studio will provide you outstanding
separations quickly and easily - ready for minor color
adjustments using the built in tools and features. You can
even combine these separations with vector elements in
your Illustration program and go crazy designing and
outputting great designs that will easily print on-press.
To make the best use of this software and every other
graphics application you should understand when to use
each of them so you get the very best end result. If a file
was completely built in an Illustration program such as
Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw and the number of spot
colors does not exceed your press capabilities or the
customer’s budget then you should use the separation
ability built in the same Illustration program. Why? Solids
will remain as solids and gradients/tints will print as
halftones. Typography and other vector elements will be
clean and sharp. Illustration programs exist for exactly
this purpose. When your illustration exceeds your press
capability then Spot Process will develop a controlled set
of colors allowing for a highly colored art file to fit your
press and look great. The art file will print as halftones as
that is the nature of tonal image separations.
Enjoy Spot Process Separation Studio!
