232 Chapter 6 – Production Printing
Imposition Workflow
Imposition is the process of positioning page images on sheets of paper in
the printer or in a digital printing press. It is part of the process of
producing finished documents.
In addition to page images, you can add various marks to the sheets to aid
the production process. These marks show where the paper should be
folded or trimmed.
Imposition does not affect the content of the individual page but rather the
placement of the pages on a press sheet. Imposition is a combination of
content and layout. The content is the pages that should be printed and the
layout is the location of the page on the sheet and the printing marks, crop
marks and fold marks.
Whenever possible, you should define imposition settings before RIPing a
job. Changing key imposition settings—for example, template settings—
post RIP may result in inefficient re-RIPing of your job.
In the Spire CXP6000 color server, imposition parameters are set in the
Imposition
tab, and page exceptions are set in the
Exceptions
tab.
You can use a Spire CXP6000 color server virtual printer to predefine your
imposition settings. When you create a new virtual printer or edit an
existing one, define the imposition settings for that particular printer.
These settings become the printer's default options and are applied to all
jobs that use the printer.

Imposition Tab on page 233, and Setting Exceptions for Imposed Jobs on
