What is trapping when doing a design for screen printing?
One thing you might not realize when looking at a design that has been screen printed on t-shirts is that each color was printed separately. When the colors touch each other it is very important that the screen printer has trapped the design. This is a process accomplished in the design phase of the artwork. It is simply adding a little extra outline to a color to make sure that it touches the colors around it.
Tracking ensures that there is no space in between each color in the design. This is one of the best ways to create a tighter registration during the design portion of the screen printing process.
