These include Ultimate Impostrip® Pro primarily designed for digital print Pro Offset adding offset and plate-based printing Pro Nesting for non-page based nested impositions like sign and display and packaging and continuingly building bundles that include everything, and finally Scalable, their multi server implementations for those very high-volume plants. Ultimate TechnoGraphics for example offers the imposition tools to support almost all forms of print imposition with 6 upgradable versions you can select what is best for you today and still upgrade as your business requirements change in the future. The flexibility and scalability of the solution will make it future proof. Looking for a solution that can scale based on your needs is also a key criterion to selecting a PDF imposition software program. In Part 1, we reviewed what is the best approach to selecting a PDF imposition software solution and the main thinking behind it. It is one of those steps that has remained a high skilled and fairly siloed process. In the sheet layout section you can see how the elements will be placed on the press sheet, and you easily change parameters to fit your needs.Preparing files for printing to a plate or directly to a press, is a crucial part of the printing process. You choose whether your imposition scheme minimizes the paper waste, or the number of plates. An Algorithm That Addresses Your Priorities The PS gives you more flexibility in assigning pages, adjusting panel size, and changing page orientation. These require a different working method, since they can be folded in a wide variety of ways: accordion fold, roll fold, gate fold, letter fold, etc.

The Pagination Scheme (PS) is a resource for the creation of folded products which are not bound. ‘Positioning Palette’ helps you set the distance between pages or elements, ‘Special Covers’ easily defines components of a complete cover (even over separate page panels), and the ‘Merge Assistant’ suggests which jobs can be combined for a more efficient workflow. Simple Features for a More Efficient WorkflowĪpogee Impose has many simple features that make your job even more comfortable. It enables users to define the imposition with regard to printing as well as finishing: double around, ribbons, deliveries and page arrangement are just a few of the preferences that you can specify. Web offset printing differs from sheet-fed offset printing, but Apogee Impose masters both, with the Web Production Scheme (WPS).
