DIGITAL PREPRESS TRAPPING TOOLS

摘要

Digital prepress trapping tools are described, including suggestions for how to implement the tools within a native artwork production environment, such as Adobe Illustrator. The invention allows for the prepress work of applying high quality traps to be accomplished without conversion to a proprietary file format or transfer of data to and from a server. The trapping tools include tools for automatically generating spreads and chokes according to certain user specified criteria, and without destroying the object being trapped.
