separation software which one?
mk162:
I have both, I use quikseps for the simple stuff because it has a lot of useful actions that make sepping easier. I can pretty much look at a design and in 3 seconds know if I can do it, or if it's going to dan.
Here's the skinny...the seps I get from dan, I know will work the first time. The amount of time that saves me in redoing art, screens and setting the job back up is worth the $80 or whatever I pay, but then I pass it along to the customer with a small markup and I am set.
I actually have dan drawing and sepping a job for me right now that is going to be around $400. And you know what, I won't lose sleep worrying if I will be able to do it or not.

I have to agree. We use it often and the results have been great.

Good advice all around. If you want to learn how to do it yourself, there are plenty of tutorials out there that will help get to know the tools so you can develop your own insight and techniques. Do you have that much time? We do our own work here, but when my artist was out awhile ago, Dan helped us get the job out in time, on budget, and no changes or remaking screens. I've had him look at some others too, though my customers didn't go that way in the end, I would have had him do it while our staff could put out more of the simple jobs when we're swamped. So, yeah, learn it for your own curiosity and edification, but let Dan do your seps and get printin'...

With regards to tuts look around for the book "Photoshop for Screenprinters" might be out of print but used ones show up occaisionally.

Tom P, I know that you like your new(ish) Quick Seps.
Sorry Dan ;D
