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.
