Printing quality and low cost will depend on quality of your artwork and professional color separation.
We always aspire to make high-quality color separations with the fewest possible colors. It will allow your company to reduce printing costs.

If you need special colors, please choose colors from the PANTONE® Matching System (PMS) and indicate numbers on your order.

To print Simulated Process (Spot Color Separations) from Photoshop, you should use a PostScript printer or a RIP software (Raster Image Processor).
The PostScript is language that describes your page and sends instructions to a PostScript printer. It is the standard for high-quality printing.
If you do not have PostScript printer or a RIP software, there is a simple way that will allow you to print separations from Photoshop on a non-PostScript printer

How to set up color profile



Simulated process separation is the most commonly used type of separation for printing photo-realistic images and t-shirt designs that contain millions of colors.  The sep process uses elliptical halftones that layer on top of each other using opaque inks to create the multitude of colors in the art.



We use simulated process separation on the most complex and/or photorealistic designs. Pantone ink colors using varying halftone percentages are layered to simulate additional ink colors. Blending is enhanced by using wet-on-wet print techniques.


Simulated Process Color Separations


The Simulated Process technique offers the ability to print full color images on light or dark substrates.

Compared to true Process Color, the inks used with Simulated Process are considerable more opaque. This additional opacity provides better coverage on darker fabrics. This fact make them the most widely used method of separation.

The Simulated Process uses a basic set of 8 colors for most images. These separations are most often customized for the specific design. The number screens is increased or reduced depending on these image requirements.

Even though the inks are more opaque than process, the semi-opaque properties do allow for overprint blending to create a multitude of colors.


Considerations:
  •  Usually requires 8 screens for a full color image
  •  The partially opaque inks provide better coverage over dark garments
