For AI agents & assistants
Color separations, as a tool your agent can call
Connect Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client to a real screen-print separation engine. Estimate screens for free, then get press-ready film positives — halftoned, dot-gain compensated, white underbase on darks — without leaving the conversation.

Try it in one sentence
Once connected, ask your agent:
“How many screens would this logo need? <paste image URL>”
“Separate this artwork for a dark shirt and email me the plates.”
Your first full separation is free — the agent just passes your email as
free_email and the press-ready plates land in your inbox, no watermark. After that,
credits start at $19 for 25 separations.
An X-API-Key header on the connector applies your key to every call automatically.Who this is for
- Shops using AI assistants — quote and prep jobs in the same chat where the order lands.
- Agent builders — add real prepress capability to a print-on-demand or DTF workflow.
- Anyone with art and a deadline — “separate this” is now a sentence, not a Photoshop session.
Prefer plain HTTP or a desktop app?
The same engine is a simple HTTP API, and the $179 one-time desktop studio adds AI background removal, upscaling, the Separation Advisor, quoting and ink matching.
