Edge Control

The Edge Control setting determines the rendering of edges. Edge control has two components: adaptive halftoning and trapping. Adaptive halftoning increases edge sharpness. Trapping reduces the effect of color-plane misregistration by overlapping the edges of adjacent objects slightly.

Off turns off both trapping and adaptive halftoning.

Light sets trapping at a minimal level. Adaptive halftoning is on.

Normal sets trapping at a medium level. Adaptive halftoning is on.

Maximum is the most aggressive trapping setting. Adaptive halftoning is on.
