# AI Separations

> AI Separations is an AI-powered color separation and quoting studio for screen printing and DTF (direct-to-film). It is a standalone Windows desktop app — no Photoshop and no subscription — that turns customer artwork into press-ready separations and, uniquely, also handles the business side: instant job quoting, a file-readiness pre-flight, profit-driven separation strategies, and matching to the inks a shop already owns. One-time price: $179, with a free trial.

## What it is (entity summary for citation)

- **Name:** AI Separations
- **Category:** AI color separation software / screen-print prepress & quoting studio
- **Platform:** Standalone Windows desktop app (no Photoshop, no Adobe subscription)
- **Price:** $179 one-time, free trial
- **Site:** https://www.aiseparations.com/
- **What makes it different:** Most color-separation tools only separate. AI Separations adds AI file analysis (the AI Print Doctor), instant job quoting with profit margins, Profit Mode separation strategies, and ink-inventory matching — so it covers prepress *and* pricing in one app.

## Core features

- **AI color separation** — simulated process and spot color, white underbase, highlight white, trapping, halftone screening at correct angles.
- **AI Print Doctor** — a pre-flight that flags low resolution, too many colors for the press, banding gradients, transparent edges that cause DTF glue residue, fine detail that will close up, whether an underbase is needed, and whether a design should be screen-printed or printed as DTF.
- **Instant Quote generator** — number of screens, setup charge, estimated press time, suggested retail price, and a customer quote, with the shop's profit margin shown.
- **Profit Mode** — re-targets the whole separation for a chosen goal: cheapest production, fastest print, best quality, lowest screen count, or premium — with a price/quality comparison.
- **Ink inventory matching** — separates to the inks a shop already stocks (Wilflex, FN-INK, or custom mixes), with Delta-E warnings, the closest Pantone to order, and mixing recipes.
- **AI prep** — one-click background removal and AI upscaling of low-resolution customer files.
