How well do Ink Layers adhere when Overprinted?

TRAPPING in this context refers to how well two ink layers will adhere when printed one over another to create the desired color.

How it works: In this example, yellow will be printed over magenta to create a red. The higher the trap value means the better adhesion of the top ink to the bottom ink.
