TYPICAL LAYOUT AND
SHEET ORIENTATION
Each numbered Imposition Block
in this manual contains:
A. Imposition Title
B. Fold Pans Used
C. Sheet Layout
D. Folded Sample
2. Dashed lines represent folds.
Page numbers or letters without circles are face up.
Page numbers or letters with circles are on the underside of the sheet.
When letters are used, folds are to be made A to A, B to B, etc.
3. In order to use your Imposition Manual properly, note that the pans in each folding section are
numbered conventionally as follows:

NOTES
1. When planning an imposition, check your folded layout for proper page numbers and guide edges.
Verify that your folder is large enough to do the job, that is, that the fold pan depths are sufficient
for the folds desired.
2. If the desired imposition is unusual, try the stock on the folder
before printing
(make a trial
folding run).
3. Use the most logical layout and avoid unnecessary problems such as air pockets and adverse
paper grain.
4. For better results, use scores whenever possible.
5. There are alternate ways of making many of these impositions; those presented herein are in
common use to achieve the results shown. An experienced operator will often develop alternate
methods to achieve the same results.
