Create A Trap

The Trap command in Adobe Illustrator creates traps for overlapping objects by overprinting the lighter-colored artwork into the darker artwork. Traps can be applied using the Pathfinder panel or as an effect. As an effect, trap settings can be adjusted later. The Trap command determines which object is lighter or darker based on color differences and can reverse the trapping if needed.

Create a trap

The Trap command creates traps for simple objects by identifying the lighter-colored artwork
—whether it’s the object or the background—and overprinting (trapping) it into the darker
artwork. You can apply the Trap command from the Pathfinder panel or as an effect. The
advantage of using the Trap effect is that you can alter the trap settings at any time.

What the Trap command does

A. Area of overprinting B. Area of knockout C. Background color D. Foreground color 

In some cases, the top and bottom objects may have similar color densities so that one color
is not obviously darker than the other. In this case, the Trap command determines the trap
based on slight differences in color; if the trap specified by the Trap dialog box is not
satisfactory, you can use the Reverse Trap option to switch the way in which the Trap
command traps the two objects.

1. If the document is in RGB mode, choose File > Document Color Mode > CMYK
Color to convert it to CMYK Mode.
2. Select two or more objects.
3. Do one of the following:
- To apply the command directly to the objects, choose Window >
Pathfinder, and choose Trap from the panel menu.
- To apply the command as an effect, choose Effect > Pathfinder >Trap.
Select Preview if you want to preview the effect.

4. Set trap options, and click OK


1. Trapping adalah suatu istilah yang digunakan untuk menghindari atau meminimalisasi
pergeserah warna cetak yang menumpuk (miss register). Kebanyakan digunakan pada
logo, atau tulisan yang menumpuk pada obyek yang kontras, atau penggunaan warna-
warna solid (special color). Setelah diberi Trapping, biasanya terlihat seperti ada
outline. Besarnya Trapping berkisar 0.2mm – 0.5mm, bergantung bahan cetak dan
jenis cetakan. Cetak dengan kuantiti sedikit mungkin tidak begitu masalah, tapi
bgaimana jika cetakan dalam jumlah ribuan atau bahkan jutaan, tentu resiko miss
register sangat mungkin terjadi. Untuk lebih jelasnya perhatikan gambar berikut ini..
