Learning how to color separate in illustrator for screen printing can be overwhelming at times, but is more commonly over thought. In this video, I will show a simple way to separate a design using some key tools in Illustrator.

This artwork was given to me by a client of mine who is new to screen printing. It’s for a left chest design they are printing that will not be needing an underbase. (Underbase video coming in the future). We’re dealing with real artwork that will be printed for a real job. These principles are the same ones I use when approaching every separation and artwork for spot color printing in Illustrator.

What is Spot Color Printing? Spot color printing, as shown in this video, can be defined as “what you see is what you print.” Meaning, where there is red ink, I will have a red screen and where there is blue ink I will have a blue screen. It’s the most common type of screen printing used with most daily printed designs. Other forms of printing would be things like spot process and 4 color process printing. These methods use multiple colors, typically in high detail, to make the appearance of a vast amount of colors being printed. Spot Color Printing is what we’re dealing with today and what you as a screen printing will mostly be dealing with on a day to day basis.
