Trapping

A real content-stream engine, not a generic overprint toggle.

Nala's trapping engine reads the full graphics stack of the PDF — clip paths, transparency groups, nested form objects — before deciding where trapping actually belongs.

Watch it running →
  • Direct overprint on solid blacks and opaque areas.
  • Configurable pull-back on light edges where two or more inks meet.
  • Deliberately scoped: not a generic spread between two process colors, gradients or images.
  • Runs inside the same job — no exporting the file to a separate trapping tool.

Part of Nala's Prepress Automation suite, alongside Ink Remap, InkSmart and Preflight Fix. See the full suite →

Every operation stays part of the Job.

Ink Remap, InkSmart, Preflight Fix and Trapping are optional — apply what a job needs, skip what it doesn't. Whatever runs (or doesn't) is recorded in that job's traceability, the same way Nala already tracks specifications, approvals and production output.
