Hi! My my studies about trapping, it is only required when we have two or more objects wich we wish to avoid appear a white or misscolored fillet, due to a registration problem. Trapping can be simulated in scribus by adding a stroke line arround the object, containing a sort of mixing of the two colors (causes overprint) Lets think in Magenta Square and a Cyan Circle for example. If we put a thin (0.5pt) Blue stroke line arround the circle, there will be an overprinting arround it and the magenta area and the cyan area will have a 0.5pt tollerance of registration problems to this object. Lets say that you must just know the resulting sum of the object colors and, for the internal object, apply a stroke with that color . Another example, a 50% black (C0% M0% Y0% K50%) circle with a orange (C0% M50% Y100% K0%) rectangle passing throught it. create dark orange (C0% M50% Y100% K50%) That should be enought to have a arcaic, but reasonable, object trapping with scribus ^_^v
