Imposition Tips with Ventura - Ventura's built in imposition is enormously better than that nearly broken "build booklet" plug-in for PageMaker.
Imposition - Printing presses print an entire set of pages on a single large sheet of paper to make the most efficient use of the paper and to shorten the time required for printing a large number of different pages. Imposition is the process of arranging the individual pages on the sheet of paper so that after they are printed, folded and trimmed, the resulting pages will back up correctly and be in the proper order.
Imposition - In prepress, "imposition" means the arrangement of pages on the press sheet so that when folded the pages read consecutively. How you arrange the pages on the sheet depends on the sizes of the press sheet and the pages, and how the job will be folded and bound. To help you learn about imposition, read this article.
Imposition and Printer Marks - If you are using PagePlus as your publishing program, there are several other output options you should know about when submitting work to a professional printer.
Planning for Imposition - Commercial printers often use large sheets of paper that they fold, cut, and trim to the finished size.
Printing Duplexed Booklets from Adobe InDesign - InDesign documents are in a format called reader spreads. Meaning, the front cover is the first page with the back cover being the last page. At times a format called Printers Spreads, where the first page is output with the last page, is required for final output. This is also useful when trying to build a composite with your laser printer.
