Chapter 17: Trapping color

The quality of a printer’s work depends in large part on getting different inks to print exactly in register. To minimize

the effects of misregistration, commercial printers developed a technique called trapping.

Trapping documents and books

About ink trapping

When an offset printed document uses more than one ink on the same page, each ink must be printed in register

(perfectly aligned) with any other inks that it abuts, so that there is no gap where the different inks meet. However,

it’s impossible to ensure exact registration for every object on every sheet of paper running through a printing press,

so misregistration of inks can occur. Misregistration causes an unintended gap between inks.

You can compensate for misregistration by slightly expanding one object so that it overlaps an object of a different

color—a process known as trapping. By default, placing one ink over another knocks out, or removes, any inks under-

neath to prevent unwanted color mixing; but trapping requires that inks overprint,orprintontopofeachother,so

that at least a partial overlap is achieved.

Misregistration with no trap (left) and with trap (right)

Most traps employ spreading—expanding a light object into a dark object. Because the darker of two adjacent colors

defines the visible edge of the object or text, expanding the lighter color slightly into the darker color maintains the

visual edge.

Trapping methods

Trap a document using any combination of methods, including the following:

• Use process colors that don’t need trapping.

• Overprint black.

• Manually overprint strokes or fills.

• Use Adobe InDesign CS3 built-in trapping or Adobe In-RIP Trapping.

• Trap imported graphics using the trapping features in the illustration programs in which they were created. Refer

to the documentation for these applications.

Choose a trapping solution that complements the color output workflow you’re using, such as Adobe PostScript or PDF.

Dear manymanuals.pl Admin! my name’s Eric and for just a second, imagine this… - Someone does a search and winds up at manymanuals.pl. - They hang out for a minute to check it out. I’m interested… but… maybe… - And then they hit the back button and check out the other search results instead. - Bottom line – you got an eyeball, but nothing else to show for it. - There they go. This isn’t really your fault – it happens a LOT – studies show 7 out of 10 visitors to any site disap

Dear, Eric here with a quick thought about your website manymanuals.pl Owner! I’m on the internet a lot and I look at a lot of business websites. Like yours, many of them have great content. But all too often, they come up short when it comes to engaging and connecting with anyone who visits. I get it – it’s hard. Studies show 7 out of 10 people who land on a site, abandon it in moments without leaving even a trace. You got the eyeball, but nothing else. Here’s a solution for y
