Abstract
In a method or system for trapping print data with a plurality of respective objects, the objects being individually transferred into a bit map pixel file, at least one overfill is determined for the respective object relative to color regions bordering the respective object in the pixel file according to predetermined trapping rules. The object and the at least one overfill are inserted into the pixel file, wherein the object and the overfill are rastered in the pixel file upon insertion.

A method for trapping print data with a plurality of respective objects, the objects being individually transferred into a bitmap pixel file, comprising the steps of:
- determining at least one overfill for the respective object relative to color regions bordering the respective object in the pixel file according to predetermined trapping rules;
- and
- inserting the object and the at least one overfill into the pixel file, wherein the object and the overfill are rastered in the pixel file upon insertion.
A printing system for trapping print data with a plurality of objects, the objects being individually transferred into a bit map pixel file, comprising:
- a print data controller and multiple printing groups;
- and
- the print data controller being designed to execute a trapping method comprising the steps of
- determining at least one overfill for the respective object relative to color regions bordering the respective object in the pixel file according to predetermined trapping rules, and
- inserting the object in the at least one overfill into the pixel file, wherein the object in the overfill are rastered in a pixel file upon insertion.
A computer-readable medium for a printing system comprising a computer in which said computer-readable medium is run, said computer-readable medium comprising a computer program that traps print data with a plurality of respective objects, the objects being individually transferred into a bit map pixel file, said computer program performing the steps of:
- determining at least one overfill for the respective object relative to color regions bordering the respective object in the pixel file according to predetermined trapping rules;
- and
- inserting the object and the at least one overfill into the pixel file, wherein the object and the overfill are rastered in a pixel file upon insertion.
