Lucid Dream claimed that trap zones may be created using various existing tools for generating trap zones in different desktop page layout and viewing applications, such as Adobe Acrobat.
The I-Trap zone tool allows the creation of overlapping rectangle zones, with the facility to edit them and set different trapping parameters in zones.
Polygonal and elliptic zone shapes will be offered in a future release.
Mitre trapping to detect various corner conditions and adjust the trap brush to produce better corner results can also be performed by I-Trap, added Lucid Dream.
In addition, Image trapping is said to be one of the most important features of I-Trap because the ability to properly trap image data is one of the features that define high-end high quality trapping, added the company.
I-Trap provides a set of tools for image trapping providing the needed support for almost any type of image trapping.
The company added that spot colours can be set as a special case to selectively trap image to spot colours whilst not trapping images to process colours.
And because artwork increases in complexity and new transparency options are used I-Trap incorporates a mechanism to handle trapping of images to vignettes.
