Create or modify a trap preset

  1. If the Trap Presets panel is not open, choose Window > Output > Trap Presets.
  2. Choose New Preset in the panel menu to create a preset, or double-click a preset to edit it.
    Note: Clicking the New Preset button at the bottom of the Trap Presets panel creates a preset based on the [Default] trap preset settings.
  3. Specify the following options, and then click OK:

    • Name. Type a name for the preset. You can’t change the name of the [Default] trap preset.

    • Trap Width. Type values to specify the amount of overlap for inks.

    • Trap Appearance. Specify options for controlling the shape of the traps.

    • Images. Specify settings that determine how to trap imported bitmap images.

    • Trap Thresholds. Type values to specify the conditions under which trapping occurs. Many variables affect the values you’ll need to enter here. For more information, consult with your prepress service provider.
