Trapping
In color printing, color inks or toners are applied separately to a page. A color
image has its component colors applied in color separations of cyan, magenta,
yellow and black. These color separations must be aligned (registered)
precisely to produce a quality full color image. During printing, the paper or
media type may shift slightly. While the shift might be very small, the gaps
between the colors in the image can be noticeable. Color trapping corrects it by
overlapping colors slightly so that minor alignment issues are corrected.
To use trapping in a document, select a value for the print overlap pixel width:
Light
, 0.5 pixel trapping;
Medium
, 1 pixel trapping;
Heavy
, 1.5 pixels trapping;

, 2 pixels trapping.
