Hi I’m going to show you how to print separations with Photoshop and AccuRIP.

Photoshop’s default print setting (Printer Manages Color) will produce some unwanted results on your films such as noise in areas that should be clear.

Photoshop is converting your separations to a color space before it reaches AccuRIP.

This produces the unwanted data in open areas that should be clear.

Here’s what to do…

Set the Printer to AccuRIP then for Color Handling choose Separations.

To make the Separations option available, Photoshop requires the user to be in one of these image modes: CMYK, Multichannel, or Duotone. RGB mode does not offer the separation option.

By using the Separations option Photoshop will keep the data in a black and white print mode producing clean film positive prints.

Happy Printing.
