Edge Control

Edge Control

The Edge Control setting determines how edges are rendered. Edge control has three components: adaptive halftoning, Resolution Enhancement Technology (REt), and trapping. Adaptive halftoning increases the edge sharpness. Trapping reduces the effect of incorrect color alignment by slightly overlapping the edges of adjacent objects. The color REt option smooths the edges.

NOTE

If you notice white gaps between objects, or if you notice areas that have a slight shadow of cyan, magenta, or yellow at the edge, choose an edge-control setting that increases the trapping level.

Four levels of edge control are available:

● Maximum is the most aggressive trapping setting. Adaptive halftoning and color REt settings are on.
● Normal is the default trapping setting. Trapping is at a medium level. Adaptive halftoning and color REt settings are on.
● Light sets trapping at a minimal level. Adaptive halftoning and color REt settings are on.
● Off turns off trapping, adaptive halftoning, and color REt.
