A-1 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. 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 digital color printers, 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, a process
inherently faster than printing a single page at a time. DocBuilder Pro allows you to
image multiple pages on a single sheet, but the output devices it supports are digital
color copiers, rather than traditional printing presses. In this manual, the paper on
which a job is imaged is referred to as the sheet.
