4 colr separation for screeprinting

[healy]

Does anyone know how to use adobe Photoshop 7.0 in order to print separations for 4 color screenprinting.
I can make it as far as the color separation screen, then I chhose print, but it all comes out together. Someone please help!!! Thanks!!!

Photoshop doesn't do this from what I can tell (correct me if I'm wrong guys, I could never find it). You would need to open it in something like Illustrator or InDesign to get the Separations Setup and then print them out. If you need the separations in a file, save as a Photoshop DCS file which will save 5 files, an eps and 4 color separation files (.c, .m, .y, .k). good luck.

You got me checking to see if I could do that with my print. I remember being able to do it before, but I'm not able to now. I think the real reason is that I don't have a postscript printer anymore.

Try printing the individual cymk channels. Go to the channel palette and turn on each one at a time. Be sure to select the proper screen angle under the print preview screen.
