is best used on images with basic color use, as opposed to photographs, which
will not render as well.
5 If you are using CMY+K process color mode, select whether color trapping is
enabled. Color trapping is a halftoning technique that masks color-to-color
registration errors due to mechanical variation. If necessary, use this feature to
prevent the media showing through along edges of solid black areas.
Use the slider bar to set a color trapping level (none, light, medium, or heavy).
6 If you are using CMY+K process color mode, you can adjust the black color
tolerance between true black and process black. You can adjust this threshold from
0% to 10%. Lower values reduce the spectrum of color that will print in true black,
while higher values increase this spectrum.
For example, a threshold of 0% will result in only black (RGB 0, 0, 0) being printed
in true black. As you increase the threshold, other colors near RGB 0, 0, 0 will also
be printed in true black.
