    Color Separations

    Hey...I was attempting to print out color separations in photoshop. I have a color printer and had it set to cmyk. The print preview showed the image in color. However, when it printed out, the separations were printed out but in different shades of gray...Any idea of why this may have happened?

    That's not how it works. You can't make plates from them if they're not monochrome.
