Does any one know about silkscreening?
I know how it all works I've done it for about 5 years, but I need help making separations for my designs. I'm using photoshop cs on a mac ibook g4 osx. Can any one help with some simple 2-3 maybe even 4 color seps. I'm not going to be using cmyk.
Thanks.

I'm not very knowledgeable about anything that you are asking. But, I do want to try to help you.

What I know about silk-screening techniques and processes goes back to the days when there were no computers. So, the title of your question made me think of what I knew 30+ years ago. However, upon reading your question, as far as a computer program is concerned, I did a search for the following words: making separations Photoshop. And, I found some sites where maybe you might find information that will be helpful to you. I hope that you do find information that is helpful to you.
