Trap Color Scaling

 

TWS

Trap Width Scaling (see below)

Trap Width Scaling (TWS):

Trap width scaling depends on the trap color. This function lets you change the trap width separately, not only for black but for any colors such as CMYK and spot colors. The trap width depends on the dominant separation in the trap.
Example: If a trap has CMYK values of C 20%, M 30%, Y 50% and K 10%, then yellow is the sepa­ration with the highest value and the standard trap width is multiplied with the "TWS" factor for yel­low.
