Small text scaling
Here is animation demonstrating how scaling affects trapping on small
text:
The text shown in the example is small-the letter l measures
approximately 0.5 points across. With 100 percent trapping at a trap
width of 0.3 points, the trap is so wide that the letter appears to be
overprinting. When the trap is scaled to 25 percent, the trap is more
appropriate to the size of the text.
