AI Separations

FREE, no key needed. Analyze artwork for screen printing: how many spot-color screens it needs, the detected ink colors (with named ink matches), whether it's flat/vector or photographic, and whether screen printing or DTF is the better process. Use this first on any logo or design.

Run the real separation engine on artwork: detected spot inks, one grayscale film-positive plate per ink (halftoned, dot-gain compensated, white underbase on dark garments) plus a composite print preview. With no key: free small preview. With free_email: ONE full separation per email address, plates delivered by email, no watermark. With api_key: metered (1 credit), plates emailed to deliver_email.
