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 press 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.

Imposition method Step and repeat Description 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. 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.
