Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method for trapping an object against a gradient background, the method comprising: obtaining a trapping parameter for the object in both a fast scan and slow scan direction; forming a first, a second, and a third color trap for the object, wherein the first color trap comprises both a trap parameter on both an inner side and an outer side of the object for different portions of the object, the second color trap comprises a trap parameter on an inner side of the object, and the third color trap comprises a trap parameter on an outer side of the object; comparing the first color trap for the object with the second color trap for the object; comparing the first color trap for the object with the third color trap for the object; determining that a result of the comparing the first color trap for the object with the second color trap for the object yields a larger result than a result of the comparing the first color trap for the object with the third color trap for the object; and applying trapping to the inner side of the object.
