Color Trapping
When one color totally surrounds another, they must have either a choke or
spread relationship. The examples below illustrate applications of choking
and spreading. Notice that when a dominant color is surrounded by a
submissive color, the dominant color chokes the submissive color (it draws
the submissive color underneath its edges). Conversely, when a submissive
color is surrounded by a dominant color, it spreads into the dominant color
(bottom example, at right).
Black Trapping
In general, trapping is the overlapping of colors to prevent mis-registration and the resulting gaps of
paper showing through (The image bellow is exaggerated to show the mis-registration).
