What is the difference between Studio and Editor?

Editor is the original browser editor — drop an image, eye-drop colors, separate, paint, export. Everything happens in your tab. Studio is a server-orchestrated pipeline (analyze → separate → recolor → export) that survives tab closes, handles large textured artwork, supports multiple colorways and exposes authenticated API processing for signed-in accounts.

Do I need to choose one engine for my whole account?

No. The engine is per project. You can have an Editor quick-and-dirty repeat next to a Studio production-grade artwork in the same dashboard.

What file formats do you support?

Source: TIFF, PNG, JPEG. Editor accepts lighter files. Paid plans raise source limits, always subject to the current platform upload cap. Export: PNG per layer (transparent), palette PDF, project ZIP bundle.

How do credits work?

Studio jobs cost credits per success. Defaults: analyze = 1, separate = 4, recolor = 2, export = 1, multiplied by source size in 25 MB steps. So a 90 MB artwork separated once costs 4 × 4 = 16 credits. A failed job is not charged.

Can I integrate Studio in my MIS, PLM or RIP?

Yes — today the app exposes authenticated JSON endpoints on Pro and Studio. A signed-in account can create projects, register source assets, queue Studio jobs, and fetch outputs. Public partner API keys, OpenAPI docs and webhooks are not shipped yet.

Do you use Pantone colors?

Textile Color Separation is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or licensed by Pantone LLC. We provide a built-in color reference library based on open systems — primarily Munsell (public-domain renotation data) and CIE Lab / LCH (international standard). For shops that need an officially licensed Pantone workflow, we recommend pairing TCS with a Pantone-licensed RIP or color matching tool.

Is my data private?

Yes. Source artwork is stored in a per-account namespace, signed URLs are short-lived, and we never train models on your files. EU customers can request EU-only storage.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Subscriptions are monthly, no commitment. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period — your projects stay intact and you fall back to the Free tier.

Do you replace Separation Studio NXT or Photoshop actions?

For most screen printing shops doing simulated-process and spot-color separations: yes. For very specific halftone angle fine-tuning we still recommend pairing with your RIP. Many shops run both side by side: Studio for the daily volume, NXT for the edge cases — and gradually consolidate.

What currency do you bill in?

Current checkout is billed monthly in EUR via Stripe. VAT is handled at checkout.
