Anyone wanna talk Sep software??

Frog:
So, if indeed, you mare interested in DIY software to separate colors in CorelDRAW, this program may interest you and was recently discussed here (in the same section to which I have moved this thread)

Mr Tees!!:
...here is the link, it says that it does act as a RIP, if I am reading correctly:

      http://www.quikseps.com/

...from what I can tell, this is what they were selling before they updated it and renamed it Ultraseps(?)

...anyone familiar with this one? If it can interpret halftones, that alone is worth the dough versus $500 for Accurip (which I like by the way, but hey, times is tough out there , man!!)

screenxpress:
I believe Steve has a Photoshop (only) RIP as part of the software.  You can also get a free (Photoshop only) RIP from Wilflex Easy Art.  But as far as I know, Ghost is the only free one that can be used for Corel, Illy, and PS.


Oopps, that was about QuickSeps and UltraSeps, both his products.  But I think it has limited settings, like 40, 45, 50, and 55 - not all over the place and not real adjustable.

tpitman:
I think it's just a Photoshop action that creates bitmap halftones at predetermined line screen frequencies, angles, and shapes that are recommended by the developer. I've got QuikSeps Pro and I usually save the file as a dcs file, then place it into Illustrator, add my registration marks and any other stuff, then save as a .ps file to open in Ghostscript. I've sometimes had iffy results with bitmap halftones, and generally get better results through Ghostscript.

ZooCity:
what tpitman said.  yes, you can bitmap your colors in photoshop instead of using a rip.  use 600-900 ppi at the conversion and the dots are okay.  I'm sure you can make an action for this but, no, this is not the same as a rip. 

Rips are interfaces between your output program and your printer.  A rip will give you better dots, control over how your printer behaves and save you time.  Sep software has absolutely nothing to do with the rip, they generate channels which the rip outputs at your desired settings.
