Trap Editor - The Professional Trapping Tool

With Trap Editor, object-oriented spreading and trapping can be carried out interactively. With its extensive range of functions, the tool also meets the specialist requirements of the packaging industry. One particular advantage over classical InRIP trapping is the immediate visualization of trapping work on the monitor. Even at the proof stage the traps are shown in their final form, so that the print result can be clearly predicted without any print proof.

The most important functions at a glance:

• Selective object trapping
• Automatic trapping of individual PDF pages or entire PDF files at the click of a mouse
• Interpretation of embedded trapping parameters
• Traps can be selected and deleted based on type and color
• Editing of traps according to color, width and direction
• Integrated color management functions
• Automatic overprinting of black text
• Optionally-adjustable trapping width for thin lines, small texts and any type of color
• Trapping of metallic and coating colors as well as all combinations of graphics, images and color vignettes
• Subsequent correction of overprints and knockout of contours and graphic objects
• Special packaging features: Various corner forms, handling of three-color joins and keep-away mode
