CMYK (Channel Separation)
CMYK separation breaks full-color artwork into four halftone channels — Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. Each channel is built as a rasterized halftone so the inks blend visually on press, producing the full color range from just four screens. What makes this flexible is garment color. We adjust the separation and underbase to match whatever fabric you're printing on — white, black, navy, red, or anything else. The channels are always set up relative to the actual garment, not a generic default. Handled entirely in Photoshop, manually. Dot frequencies and angles are set per channel to keep the output clean and accurate across the color range.
