128 Chapter 8-Production workflows Imposition method Description Step and continue This method enables you to place different pages of a job on one sheet so that the sheet is filled to capacity. Cut and stack Saddle stitch This method is used to print, cut, and stack pages while preserving a certain order. When the cut stacks are piled one on top of the other, the entire job ends up in the desired order. The cut-and-stack method is useful primarily for high-volume variable information jobs. This method prints pages in a manner that is suited for saddle-stitch binding. With this binding method, sheets are folded, inserted one inside another, and then stitched or stapled along the spine, such as in a brochure or magazine. Perfect bound This method prints pages in a manner that is suited for perfect binding. Perfect binding is a book-finishing technique in which the folded sheets are gathered in order and clamped into place. A saw roughens the spine edge of the gathered pages. Glue is then applied to the spine, and the cover of the book is affixed to the glued spine. This method is used for most books. Nested saddle stitch This sub-method of perfect bound combines the saddlestitch imposition method and the perfect bound imposition method. As with saddle stitching, pages are grouped together and stapled or stitched across a common center fold. The saddle groups are then stacked side-by-side and glued, as with perfect binding. Note: This option is not applicable to VDP jobs.
