Separation Studio helped define spot-process separation. AI Separations takes the same goal — clean, press-ready plates — and rebuilds it around AI prep, a modern interface, and a $179 one-time price, with no Photoshop required.
Whether you run photographic art through simulated process or pull flat logos as spot color, the output you need is identical: halftone-screened plates at the right angles, a white underbase for dark garments, and a highlight white that makes the print pop. AI Separations produces all of that — the difference is how little setup it asks of you.
