For process and spot colors (except metalic inks), Quark can determine how light and dark the colors are and automatically spread the lighter object into the darker one. The preferences will handle most everything on your pages that have definite neutral density values. They may also want you to change the indeterminate setting to a negative value. It is a very good idea to ask your printer what value they prefer. Most high-quality presses can handle the smaller trap, while cheaper presses and papers need more. Then, set the amounts to +.144 pts or +.2 pts. Simply put, turning this on makes everything spread by half the default trapping size. (In Quark 6, this is off by default.) This badly-named preference has nothing to do with process colors. First and most important, always turn off Process Trapping. Second, the Trapping Info palette makes changes to elements on your pages that need non-default trapping specs. To control trapping, Quark uses settings in two places: First, the Trapping Preferences establish the most common, default trapping behavior your files require. This is a rather complex subject, but here are a few basic points.
