No bells and whistles, just a good solid RIP that works. Okay support with them too if I run into problems which I did when upgrading the system on a newer Mac. I found that out quick when bringing a few seps from it into Photoshop.įor a RIP I use Accurip. If I didn't get sep studio for free from a buddy that was closing his shop I would have never bought it as it just doesn't work well and the screen previews of the seps can't be trusted (at all). I have a few other programs including sep studio and rarely if ever use them. In Photoshop anything and any adjustment is possible. I also think its important to stick with things that work in Photoshop and avoid standalones or anything else. Granted, if someone happens to be clueless or has almost no Photoshop skills, I don't think any sep program is an immediate answer to your problem but you'll need to start somewhere and something like Ultraseps or even something else that runs in Photoshop will teach you a lot. Plus if you have a question the guy who wrote it gets right back to you a major plus. The grayscale separations it does which I use all the time are fantastic. Not only does it do a decent job (better than anything else) right out of the gate, but it does a ton of things and its cheap. Not just with me but this seems to be the general consensus among skilled printers who you don't usually find posting to newbie forums. I've said this before and I'll say it again, UltraSeps is the best choice on color sep programs by far. I specify print order, PMS colors and mesh counts on my seps. My sep files will be accurate and functional with little or no leg work. I do them in an older version of photoshop that retains correct preview, although what I send you for film will not preview in newer versions of photoshop correctly it will make correct film.įrom my experience Spot Process is pretty good, but his program won't allow you to add special colors like metallic or florescent spot colors. My seps work as well as any on the market and since i'm the cheapest I have heard of I can be a great source for you if you choose to outsource. I also will generate film for you for $12 a plate up to 16x20 if you need it. The new Creative suite photoshop won't print channel seps so you would need to print from an older version of photoshop or place the sep file (provided as DCS file) into illustrator and go from there. I usually charge around $100 to do simulated color seps that you can then print from illustrator or older versions of photoshop. Your welcome to contact me about doing them for you. I do color seps for a number of customers. Its honestly tough to say how you may fair with any of them, yes the separations are important but if you don't have exposure to registration to printing techniques down the program you use doesn't matter. I use 1 of these programs 90% of the time, I use 2 others 5% of the time combined and 5% of the time totally manual. Each one of these programs has taught me a few things, the only thing Separation Studio taught me was to save my money.
I can tell you which had the highest ROI. I can tell what I use and what works best for me but as you can see there is a wide range of opinions. What is your intensions? simulated process?, spot colors?, 4 color process(CMYK) I own Ultra Seps, T-seps, Simple Seps both Smart Rip4 and Raster, a few by Steve Yates, Wilflex(cant use anymore due to not working on updated software) I had Separation Studio,, I know I am forgetting 1 or 2.
I have the emails and PM's to prove the claim. He accepted and then retracted saying he couldn't win. I challenged Norm to put his product against the others I own and use. After Mark was told about the claims they were removed shortly after. Norm use to have that Mark Coudray approves his product on his website. Click to expand.I would seriously stay away.
