What is trapping?
As all printers know, it is difficult to achieve and maintain perfect registration in a job. In jobs where colors do not touch one another, a certain amount of misregistration will go unnoticed. In jobs where colors do touch each other, misregistration can cause visible and unsightly gaps. In jobs where colors touch one another, trapping is often used to make misregistration less visible. Trapping involves creating a region of overlap between two adjacent colors, so that even if the colors are out of register, no gap is visible. In the illustration below you can see how trapping helps this problem.
Trapping is conventionally referred to as “chokes and spreads” where white space in between colors is eliminated by an overlapping of colors. Trapping can be tricky and complicated at the application level. Take advantage of our ability to do mitered traps and let us do the trapping for you on one of our high-end trapping stations.
Trapping is a method of capturing and harvesting animals. The DNR has established specific trapping seasons when furbearers may be taken. Wildlife biologists recognize trapping as an important wildlife management tool. Trapping is highly regulated and scientifically monitored by professional wildlife biologists within each state’s department of wildlife to ensure that the most humane methods are used and that the population is never endangered.
