Auto Trapping customization
Trapping is a technique where some objects are printed slightly larger or smaller than you have specified in an
application, in order to prevent white edges around the objects. These white edges, or "halos," can be caused by
factors such as misregistration, the physical properties of the ink or toner, and the stiffness of the media.
The Auto Trapping customization feature provides you with advanced trapping settings and gives you full control
over their values. The Fiery ES is shipped with values that are optimized for the printer using regular paper, but if
these values do not provide the results necessary for the media that you use, modify the values to meet your
requirements.
