Abstract
The color separation subsystem provides an automated hosted environment to perform the pre-press application of color separation upon a suitable file to produce a resultant plate file. The color separation subsystem is coupled to an image logic information database which includes job color separation parameters for the job and a client application such as a plater service or product setup module that wishes to perform automated color separation. Gateway service and queue processor service are software processes running on a dedicated server computer that assist with automated color separation. The module accepts requests for color separation of a file, retrieves one or more color separation parameters from the image logic information database and transfers one or more color separation parameters. A color separation software tool then accepts the file and performs color separation of the file, using the retrieved color separation parameters, all without user intervention.
