FAQ

Separation questions, answered.

What are color separations?

Screen printers and spot-color workflows need one file per ink. Vecspine's Plates tab lists every flat color with HEX, nearest ink name and coverage %, and Export Color Separations writes one .svg + transparent .png per plate plus a JSON press report.

Spot color vs CMYK process — which should I use?

Use spot separations when the job prints with pre-mixed inks (screen printing, vinyl, spot litho). Use CMYK process separations for full-color process printing. Vecspine exports both from the same trace.

What files do I get per plate?

Each plate exports as a single-color vector .svg plus a transparent print-resolution .png, so you can burn screens from the raster or cut/edit the vector.

What does the JSON press report include?

Each ink's HEX, nearest ink name and coverage percentage — a machine-readable press report you can hand to the print shop.

Can I batch-separate a whole folder of logos?

Yes. File → Batch Color Separations processes every PNG, JPG, WEBP, BMP, TIFF or SVG in a folder in one pass — each logo gets a numbered plate set plus a combined press report. Studio and Agency tiers.

Can I preview a single ink before exporting?

Yes. Click any row in the Plates tab to isolate that plate on the canvas; "Show All Plates" returns to the full art.
