Documents that must trap take extra time and cost more than documents that do not. Rules must be at least one point to trap. Text against an EPS bitmapped color background is difficult to trap. To trap shadow text, the type must be built as two separate elements instead of selected as shadow text from the style menu. Trapping blends to other design elements is difficult.
Images imported from one application to another can be difficult or impossible to trap.
