ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed a method of color trapping. In one embodiment, the color trapping is performed during the rasterization process. The color trapping comprises identifying page objects into a variety of different categories. Color trapping for each of the page objects is then performed based on specific procedures for the category. In one embodiment, the categories include identifying the page objects as rectangles, characters, and non-rectangular shapes. In one embodiment, specific page objects may be identified as being of a type that color trapping is not to be performed.
