yes indy trapping is pretty straightforward and when i use it for my packaging layouts on a full B1 sheet i get very good results - very acceptable

do be aware however if you place an illy file in indy it wont get trapped - you'll have to do that manually in illy - or pdf out of indy, place pdf, assign trap preset and away you go just like almaink said

alma - interesting - in your piccys you have the trap placement as "centre" - so that works the same as illy/indy in so much as a 0.4 stroke gives a 0.2 trap right?

i set mine to "spread" at 0.2 - it works fine for me.

oh - 0.2 is in points as opposed to mm - you can type 0.2pt in the trap field and it converts it to mm

hopefully this will cover a couple of finer points in the trap preset boxes rejames
