A-8 Basics of Imposition
Creep becomes more noticeable as the number of groups in a saddle increases, and its
effect is most noticeable on pages farthest from the center fold of the saddle.
Consequently, a book layout must also specify the number of groups in each saddle
because the number of groups in each saddle affects the amount of creep needs to be
accounted for.

Compensating for creep is tedious, exacting work which DocBuilder Pro does for you

Gang-up printing

It's clear that a layout is essential to define the elements of complex print jobs such as
booklets and books, but it can also be useful for smaller jobs. Consider, for example,
how you might approach the task of printing business cards. It is slow, wasteful, and
expensive to print a single business card per sheet, when you can repeat the image of
the business card until the entire sheet is filled. This printing technique is known as
Gang Up Repeat because the image is repeated in each page area, or step, on the sheet.
After printing, the sheet is cut apart to produce individual cards.
