Abstract
Computer-implemented methods, computer program products, and computer systems for preparing a digital artwork document for printing. An input digital artwork document is modified to enhance or avoid a physically printed result by generating an output digital artwork document containing digital objects that align to the one or more features of one or more portions of the artwork, such as for use in trapping, reverse trapping, or pullback of objects, providing rich black, white underprint, or spot varnish. The digital objects are generated in accordance with a combination of first and second sets of instructions, such as a first set generated by a computerized expert system, and the second set created as an exception to the first set. The output document is annotated by storing at least one association between each instruction in the second set and each corresponding selected portion of the document governed by the instruction.
