Color Seperation Under Unix?

Posted by Cliff on from the beyond-RGB-and-CMYK dept.

xPG2x asks: "I'm screen printing and I've tried a lot of (good) color separation programs . However, I haven't had any luck finding an open source equivalent. Are there any Slashdot readers who are into screen printing who would know if such a program exists? A good example for such program would be Screenprint Separator."

    Ummm no.... the CMYK process is not patented in the least. Pantone yes, CMYK no. (Before anyone bitches about Pantone patenting the colors: It's not the colors, it's the inks and mix formulas to make the color. You're not going to get sued for painting your house a color that kinda' looks like Pantone 413.) Hell I can make CMYK seps with a process camera if I have to---all by hand, no computer involvment, and no one is going to come and beat my door down 'cus there's a hell of a lot of prior art, no pun intended.

    Besides, this has been covered before in an Ask /.
