1. A method of making color separations for color printing which comprises preparing n digital color separations of an original color image, where n is 2 or greater, one separation being black or a surrogate color for black, processing the separations, other than the black or surrogate separation for black, through a low pass filter to degrade image detail; and recombining all of the separations for printing, whereby the visual tolerance of any color misregistration in the ultimate printed image is increased.
