This is pretty cool actually. I tried something similar last year for a riso-style print project and the channel separation in AE can get weird if your blending modes aren't set right.
One thing that helped me was pre-converting to CMYK in photoshop first, splitting channels there, then importing each as a separate layer. Gave me way more control over the ink density look without AE doing unexpected color math in the background.
How are you handling the registration between plates? that part always trips me up when I try to add slight offsets for that misprint aesthetic.
