The credits in Usagi Yojimbo state that Tom Luth is the one who handles the “color separations”. What are “color separations”?
(WWW Board November 2000) Separations refer to getting the colors ready for the printing process when the colors are “separated” into the primary colors — magenta, yellow, cyan (process blue) and black. (The blacks are already taken care of by my inking but it is printed as a 4th color.) If you look carefully at the covers, you’ll see that the colors are made up of individual dots. So a green may be made of certain number of blue dots mixed with yellow dots. Another shade of green may have a different percentage of blue mixed with yellow and even some red dots thrown in. Tom takes care of separating these primary colors so the printer can make four printing plates — one for each color in its various percentage dots and the black which looks like a line drawing. Hope this clears it up a bit. At least, I hope it doesn’t confuse you further.
