Make no mistake. MySeps / Scott Detavernier is the best screenprint separator on this planet. If you are a freelance cat and you are not using his service, you need to rethink your grind. That is just my opinion, but my opinion in my opinion is gold. Partnering with Scott took my stuff to the next next next level. Look into it if you do what I do. Dude is unreal.

Here's some tips about one of my favorite functions of Photoshop:  The Bitmap mode.  Learn how to use bitmaps to simplify or customize your artwork.  Instead of a regular glow or fade,  use a bitmap effect for a customized version.   Using bitmap artwork can make the separation much easier to manage.  Also you don't need RIP software if your artwork has been completely converted to bitmaps and other solid objects.   Lets talk about bitmaps!

“MySeps offers the best color separations in the business and delivers with lightening speed. We have been working with Scott now for about 5 years and some of the most complex prints would not print as well as they did if we had not used MySeps. If you have complex Art (CMYK OR Simulated Process prints), you have to use the best”
