Abstract
Methods and apparatus for determining the allocation of a trap width to the spread of a pair of inks in printing. Allocation of the spread is based on both a solidity value that may be between zero and one and a lightness value. The technique may be applied to an arbitrary number of inks by considering each pair of inks separately.
