Colorized TIFFs are not getting trapped

Product

   Prinergy 1.1; Prinergy Connect 2.0

Platform

  

Operating system

  

Error

  

Symptoms

  

Everything except large colorized TIFFs are trapped on a page.

Cause

   Trapper traps colorized TIFFs by autotracing them, creating vectors to be used as traps. Very complicated TIFFs would generate thousands of vectors, causing long delays in the trapper and downstream when RIPed.

Solution

  

There are two workarounds:

[a] Overprint the TIFF: In 1.1, use originating application or PitStop to set overprint. In 2.0, use the Overprint Selected Object tool in the TrapEditor.

[b] Open TIFF in Photoshop, and use the Trap filter to add a mix of foreground and background colors.

Permanent fix:
