colour separation request

English to Spanish Marketing Advertising / Public Relations
Hola a todos:

¿Podría alguien decirme lo que significa esta expresión? Estoy traduciendo un comunicado de prensa y no he encontrado lo que significa esta expresión por ningún lado.

Contexto:

"For colour separation requests please email XXX".

Muchas gracias.

"Advertorial fee" Although "separación de colores" is correct, both Benigno and patinba are right. I finally found that "colour separation" is an euphemism for the fees charged by a range of trade press to include news in their publication. It has its origin in printing, when it took time to manually separate colours of an image to accompany an article.

patinba Nov 21, 2016:
a tough one could you say "En el caso de que su publicación requiera un pago por la publicación, por favor contacten por email a XXX" ?
I found a history of the term that follows on from Benigno's blog here: www.bmon.co.uk/2012/01/would-you-like-magazines-to-be-more-...
Alejandra Garcia Romero (asker) Nov 21, 2016:
That's what I wanted to check. The document does not refer to colours or printing. The problem here is that this practice is not usual or common in Spanish publications, hence my question.
patinba Nov 21, 2016:
In this context Benigno is exactly right. The phrase itself is a hangover from a previous age which roughly means "email XXX if you need to charge for the insertion"
Benigno Torres Nov 21, 2016:
It is a fee charged by a regional or local newspaper or trade magazine in order to publish an article or news story if they believe the article is an advertorial (add).

También se usa para separar los planos de color en photoshop y demás.
Note from asker:
Pues no lo sé. Es el último párrafo del documento. La única información que he encontrado ha sido aquí y no me queda claro: http://www.pmcpa.org.uk/cases/Code%20of%20Practice%20Reviews/1999%20to%20May%202006/2001%20August%20review.pdf

agree Mario Chavez (X) : color separation = separación de color/colores. Es una frase típica en el sector de imprentas. Para más datos: http://bit.ly/2fyfGY5

Gracias, John, aunque veo que el sentido al final era otro en este caso.
