To accommodate artwork for press and substrate variables, it is necessary to slightly overlap the edges of adjacent colors to prevent gaps from appearing. This process, called trapping, is necessary for most printed graphics. Often referred to as chokes and spreads, traps are applied to artwork on the computer prior to film output.
Since there are many factors that contribute to determining proper trap sizes and methods, it best if trapping is left to the pre-press department at Creative Sign Inc. We consider substrate type, ink density, image size, and type of press before we trap your art. We trap within various graphic applications including Scitex Full Auto Frame™ trapping software. Full Auto Frame allows for complex and customized trapping in a minimal amount of time. Together with our skilled pre-press professionals, we will trap your artwork with results we know you will like for your next screen printing job.
