    This is what worked for me, using advice from Amyl64558718 lower on the thread.

    1. Open existing .eps in Photoshop (if you're a screenprinter, likely from SepStudio)
    2. Write down exact pixel dimensions and DPI (usually 300)
    3. Create new CMYK Photoshop document to pixel dimenions and Dpi of .eps file, plus transparency as the background. All of this is in the new document dialogue.
    4. Put both windows side by side (drag out of main bar)
    5. Command + Shift click the channels in .eps and drag over to new document artboard.
    6. Save as a CMYK Photoshop document
    7. Open Photoshop document in Illustrator, keeping all the elements as layers (do not flat)
    8. Delete the CMYK image layer, keeping each channel layer intact.
    9. The channel layers are sublayers on a single layer. To get each channel onto it's own layer: drag channel one down past the last channel and drop it. It's now on it's own layer. Do that to all of the other channels in order.
    10. When all of the channels are on their own layer, delete the original layer.
    11. Open Swatches
    12. Select each channel separately and color with their appropriate swatch.
    13. Lock all channel layers.
    14. Create a new top layer.
    15. Add registration marks and any "do not print" elements on top layer.

    Save as an Illustrator file. Print out of Accurip as normal.

    I hope this helps someone else. you might not need to drag each channel to it's own layer, but I like to keep clean files and to be able to turn channels off and on with layers. This is one benefit to using the psd technique that you don't get from Placing an .eps file.

    Professional screen printer and graphic artist / color separation artist here. I'm using a workaround but it adds tons of time to my workflow. Illustrator is the greatest. Can't wait until the repair comes through and 2018 treats .eps files the same way it treated them in 2017.
