The rest of the information is taken from Alex Dyson as I had to leave the session to play football for the college.

Colour Separation:

For a CMYK print, we would get four print-outs. One for each colour. From each one of those, a plate/screen would be made to print each colour.

When this is turned on, the overprint preview automatically appears to make the image sharper.

When each colour is isolated, you can see in the preview the part of the image which will be black.

40-65 lpi is best for screen printing.
commercial printing is between 120-170 lpi.

Moiré patterns are when two grids overlay each other.

To set a document up in InDesign for overprint, you open the attributes window.
