The custom values specified are used for
all jobs.
TRAP WIDTH Determines the width of the trap (choke or
spread).
Horizontal (0–10 pixels),
Vertical (0–10 pixels)

horizontal and vertical width of the trap.
The two values can be locked together with
the link icon.
TRAP COLOR REDUCTION This feature determines how dark the trap
is. The values entered refer to the percent
reduction of the ink in the trap. A 100%
reduction would result in no ink intensity
applied to the trap, and 0% reduction would
result in full ink intensity.
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black This feature allows the user to define the
trap color reduction on a per-color basis
(0%–100% in increments of 10). Trap
reduction values can also be locked
together with the link icon.
