You're right, they absolutely feel like voodoo when you're working on them, don�t they? Trapping used to cause me fits, till I started working with pdf's and suddenly I was making excuses not to do them. :) It's getting better, but it isn't at the level adobe tries to make everyone think it is... Which =pissed me off= so bad, as right before I shifted my focus from print they were just starting to get people coming in saying "but my software says I can just give you the file as a pdf and you can print it to plate from that and it will look just the same." I do know of a lot of places that are going to PDF for just black and white though with a lot of success...
