Prinect Trap Editor 5.0 Upgrade von Supertrap
The ultimative Trapping solution
Prinect Trap editor is a highly competitive PDF Trapping tool of Heidelberg. Arisen from Supertrap, the worldwide first Adobe Acrobat plug-in for the packing of nativen PDF documents and winner of the GATF InterTech Technology Award, the overriding Trapping tools are of the Prinect Trap editor for all areas of the print media industry. Comfortably and efficiently overcrowdings can be carried out interactively and object-oriented.
Why overcrowd?
In spite of the high level of development modern pressure machines often have problems to maintain the exact passport exactness (Registerhaltigkeit) between the different extracts what can lead on the printed side at the places to mistakes (streakers) in which colours collide. The expert "overcrowding" or "Trapping" calls the solution for this problem. Besides, the objects brighter in each case are easily increased as a rule, so that the colours are also prevented with bad Registerhaltigkeit in the pressure easily überdrucken and with it "flashing through" the paper colour.
Overcrowdings from layout applications
There are meanwhile different application programs which overcrowd adjoining colours according to certain rules (mostly automatic) already with the construction of a layout or an illustration. Prominent examples are possibly QuarkXPress or Adobe InDesign. However, in case of from QuarkXPress one must say goodbye to the overcrowdings at the moment again if one writes a compound (composite) PostScript file to make afterwards a PDF from it. Unfortunately, the suitable information is absent for the congested objects. In other programmes overcrowding possibilities are completely absent.
Dedicated overcrowding programmes
To protect a constantly good pressure quality about all documents of different origin, there are already since some time different overcrowding programmes at the market. These solutions were mostly based on PostScript. Though up to now existing solutions were able to read in PDF files, however, these were converted (mostly) inside into a bitmap format. The advantages of the PDF file format were at the latest after the overcrowding there.
Heidelberg Prinect Trap editor
As a successor to Supertrap the Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG offers a solution basing on Adobe Acrobat called Prinect Trap to editor which is able to calculate professional overcrowdings for native PDF files and to store the result in the PDF format. With it one of the last gaps is closed in the PDF workflow. Now by a cooperation with the company Heidelberg we are able to be able to offer to you this product as Standalone tools also beyond the Prinergy-Worflow of system.
Product description
Based on the experienced da Vinci-Trapping-Algorithmen which are also used in Prinergy, Prinect Trap editor is a highly competitive production tool for the Adobe Acrobat with which native PDF documents can be overcrowded. It distinguishes itself by his quickness and the interactive Controlling and Editing possibilities. Because one with Prinect Trap editor congested PDF file the overcrowding information already contains, it can be processed together with every final issue compatible with PDF and Proofsystem. Special RIP enlargements as for example the Adobe in-RIP Trapping are not thereby necessary any more. Moreover, the RIP times do not become negatively beinflusst because in the issue device no complicated overcrowding calculations must take place.
Prinect Trap editor supports fully automatic packing according to user-defined rules and also permits the manual change of single objects. With Prinect Trap editor very complicated calculations can be explained in seconds between all combinations by vector and grid objects.
Overcrowding of single or several sides
All sides or single sides of a PDFs can be overcrowded. The dialogue window informs the operator how many overcrowdings on every side were generated. Every overcrowding can be worked on individually interactively, or the operator can select all overcrowdings or overcrowdings within an area (zones) after colour or after type and work on together (this is necessary only with special uses or very awkward objects. As a rule the automatic overcrowding is completely sufficient and is better than everything to what you are used from layout programmes!)
The functions in the overview:
Interactive Trapping according to user-defined rules
Immediate visualisation of the Trap results
Selective Trapping by choice of single or several objects
Automatic Trapping of single PDF pages or complete PDF documents with a mouse click
Interpretation of embedded Trap parametres
Support the Adobe Acrobat batch processing
Selecting and extinguishing of Traps after type and colour
Edit from Traps concerning colour, width, direction
Automatic conversion of RGB/rennet in CMYK by ICC-based Color management
Automatic about printing black text in dependence of the type-size
Mapping of special colours
Trapping rules for metallic colours and varnish colours
Trapping of all combinations of graphics, pictures and colour courses
Additional correction from about printing and leaving blank of contours / frames and graphics objects
Different corner forms adjustable: level, around and sharp
Special treatment of 3-colour borders: Form-receiving or sloping corners
Editor for the treatment of single points of a Trap path
"Keepaway mode" to prevent touching two colours (importantly in metal-prints)
Group / Entgruppieren from objects with the same colour and overpressure setting
Now Prinect Trap editor encloses the Supertrap plus functions
Now in former versions of Supertrap plus to contained special functions for the area of the packaging pressure, are included in Prinect Trap editor.
Overcrowding as a batch processing:
Several PDF documents let themselves overcrowd batch processing with the Acrobat automatically.
Hotfolder automation of Prinect Trap editor
Prinect Trap editor autopilot can be automated with from callas software coming solution for Acrobat fully. Autopilot is a plug-in for Adobe Acrobat which hotfolderbasierend all detailed PDF data by means of Prinect Trap editor processes and provides the result again in a source folder. Autopilot supports beside Prinect Trap editor even other plug-ins (among other things also Prinect Color editor). You find other infos to autopilot on the autopilot product side
Supported platforms and Acrobat versions
Prinect Trap editor 4.0 is executable with the following Acrobat versions:
Adobe Acrobat 5 (recommended 5.0.5) under MacOS 9, MacOS X and Windows
