Question
wat kind of color separation can it do? and how many colors does it separate?

Answer
Hi Katherine,
For offset printing, the printer uses four colors to print Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (CMYK). All the colours you see are generated using just these four colors. So Photoshop software is used to separate this colors.
For detailed explantion and process i recommend this page http://www.allgraphicdesign.com/colorseparations.html
