Basic Settings 179 This function uses the following terminology: • Frame Thickness refers to the thickness of trapping. The thicker the frame, the less chance that white areas appear between images. • Protect Small Text is an option you may apply for small or complex images, since thicker frames can decrease quality by hiding parts of an image. Selecting this option will protect any text smaller or equal to 12 pt by not framing it while applying the FAF algorithm. ¾ To set trapping, select Yes. Note: When Yes is selected, the Frame Thickness and Protect Small Text options are activated. These options cannot be selected through the PPD. ˆ In the Frame Thickness box, select the default (0.08mm) for the thickness of the trapping frame, or type the desired value. ˆ Select the Protect Small Text check box so that any text that is smaller or equal to 12 pt. is not framed during FAF. Or: Clear this option to frame all text elements during FAF. Note: Selecting No does not affect trapping incorporated by DTP applications (for example, Photoshop). FAF should not be used with application based trapping. In a PostScript file that already contains trapping from the originating application, it is not necessary to use Spire CXP8000 color server trapping.
