you need to read the  LaTeX Graphics Companion -
9.5  Color in the printing industry and separation

It also says that "It is beyond the scope of this book to deal with
full ramifications of high-quaity color printing... and we strongly
suggest that readers take professional advice before embarking on
large-scale  full color projects with LaTeX.  ..."

It says that  'CMYK color separations can be made with the
color package and dvips using only PostScript Level 1 operators..."


I'd advise against it - it seems rather complex to me and
not entirely successful.   Make a PS file and pull it into
Illustrator or Photoshop or something, and then do the separations
there...
