In-RIP-Trapping Module
In-RIP-Trapping Module ensures elimination of flashes in the print image due to process-related registration errors in multi-color printing, which can occur during printing process when printing image elements of different colors sequentially on a printed sheet. Most of these errors are based on mechanical inaccuracies of the printing system, e.g. as inaccurate alignment of the printing sheets, which are technically inevitable in some cases.
In order to counter these misalignments, In-RIP-Trapping Module enables overfilling or under filling of adjacent image elements. Next to offset printing, especially for screen and packaging printing, trapping is an important feature to ensure high-quality printing products.
