Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: obtaining a request associated with screen printing an image on a product, the request comprising at least one source image, and a key color value indicating a number of inks or key colors for use in the screen printing; obtaining a key color area value indicating a minimum area for a particular color in the source image to be identified as one of the key colors; computationally determining a set of key colors equal in size to the key color value by: transforming the source image to a destination image that is usable in the screen printing of the product based on the set of key colors; creating and storing two or more color separation images, each corresponding to one of the inks or key colors; sending the destination image or the color separation images for use in screen printing; wherein each of the steps is performed by one or more processors.
