- Click the Small Text tab.
To set a different trap width than the default for small colored text, set the following Small Colored Text options.
Scale traps by

for colored text up to
The range for colored text point size is 0 to 100 points (pt). The default is 6 pt.
Trap large colored text like any other object
Colored text larger than specified will be trapped using the regular trap width for the page.

In Overprint black text up to, type the size of the black text over which the trapper will trap as a text object and black trapping rules will apply.
