Appendix A:
Basics of
Imposition
This chapter introduces the basic concepts of imposition and can
be used as an introductory tutorial for imposing a document that
will be printed as a book or booklet. For more detailed information
on the Imposition main window and its components, see
Chapters 5 and 6.
Printing books with the Imposition feature of
DocBuilder Pro
This section describes the process of transforming an application-
specific file into a bound book; along the way, concepts and
terminology are introduced to help you take advantage of all the
features of DocBuilder Pro.
Printers and copiers that image documents on standard Letter- or
Legal-sized paper at high speeds are common in office
environments. Although the image quality and output efficiency of
such devices is adequate for correspondence and office memos,
they cannot image jobs with complex document layouts, or those
that require higher resolution or a large number of copies.
Until recently, the only way around these limitations was to use
traditional printing systems to impose your document—that is, to
arrange its pages in the correct order and orientation for printing
and a variety of binding styles. You might have used a service
bureau to access high-volume, high-resolution color printers.
However, DocBuilder Pro, teamed with your Fiery, now makes it
cost-effective to produce short-run, fully-imposed (also called
"ganged-up") documents.

Basics of imposition layout

Commercial offset printers and web presses use wide rolls of
paper and large printing plates capable of imaging numerous
pages on a single sheet. For example, it is common for such
printers to image up to 32 full-size pages on a single press sheet,
