CreoScitex is releasing CreoScitex Supertrap, a stand-alone version of the PDF trapping solution from the Prinergy workflow management system, for use with all CreoScitex workflow products, such as the Brisque, PS/M and iMPAct workflow systems. CreoScitex Supertrap is also available to users of most other PostScript 3 workflows.

CreoScitex Supertrap is an Acrobat plugin that allows Brisque, PS/M and iMPAct users to interactively perform vector-based trapping tasks while retaining the open standard of native PDF files. This application, available for Windows and Macintosh OS, offers the same vector-based PDF trapping functionality as Prinergy, according to CreoScitex.

As with the integrated version, CreoScitex Supertrap is a native PDF to PDF object-based trapper with a wide range of trap creation and modification features. Complex traps are created as separate vector objects and are based on the neutral density of adjoining vector or CT objects. Each trap object can be modified independently by adjusting any of the trap parameters, such as width, direction or color.

An advanced version of CreoScitex Supertrap is also available and includes specialized trapping functions for the packaging market, such as the ability to modify trap geometry, such as bevel and round and mitered trap corners, as well as to modify individual points in a trap object.
