What would be the best way to color separate this image?

I cannot add an image, but it is the logo in the top left corner of... www.edgerugby.com

 

[red514]

nice logo
looks like a 4 color job,
spot white, spot gray, halftoned red and halftoned dark red and an underbase if needed.

Sounds reasonable

What color are you printing on? Garment?

 

[nogivingup]

It will most likely be on black t-shirt/sweatshirt.

 

[nogivingup]

I can add the image now...

 

[jgeyer412]

Oh yeah you will definitely need underbase. You could use red, white, grey, and UB. Maybe double hit depending on your mesh. Definitely use half tones. Are you using flash units?

 

[nogivingup]

Would you, or anyone else reading this, be able to separate this for me if I send the original file? I'm new to this and it could really help me.

 

[jgeyer412]

Sorry I don't have the correct programs here at home. What are you creating the image in? Corel? Photoshop? something else?

 

[nogivingup]

I don't need it done today. It was created in Illustrator.

 

[jgeyer412]

Oh ok. I may be able to look into it but I don't know if I will be allowed at work but if I can I will. I think one of my co-workers used to go to Kinkos and they would seperate them but I could be wrong. Also, this link and many others could be helpful to you.

[nogivingup]

Thanks. I'll look into that.

 

[jgeyer412]

NP if I can help you out with it I will post back ITT on Monday.

 

[PositiveDave]

pm me, it doesn't look too difficult

I seperate stuff like that all the time ubwhite/red/black/grey/hwhite would look the best I would use a 305 mesh count for the black

I use photoshop channels. I have found that you can produce a nice halftone shade if your black is set to 15% on your levels

but, this can get tricky its a matter of exposure time as well......

Just made the separation in channels using Photoshop, I have come up using only 3 colors -- Red, Black, and Underbase white. Maybe you can use it though, I have never had the time doing the halftone because the size you will require is not mentioned.

Anyway, you can actually resize the design to fit your need, the only thing you will be working on is the halftone output for the black channel. The red and underbase white will be just be printed as spot.
