8 Production workflows Printing using imposition Imposition overview Imposition is the process of positioning page images on a sheet of paper so that when a printer or digital printing press prints the sheet, the page images will be in the right order. 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 affects only the placement of the page images on the sheet. Imposition is a combination of content and layout. The content consists of the pages that should be printed, and the layout is the location of the page on the sheet, along with the page's printing marks, crop marks, and fold marks. Note: You can impose IPDS jobs by creating an IPDS virtual printer with the appropriate imposition settings.

Imposition method Description Step and repeat This method is the most efficient one when you want to print multiple copies of the same image and fill each sheet to capacity-for example, many business cards on one sheet.
