You can automate the setup of gangup imposition (for example, for business
cards or postcards) to print on the same sheet size, and streamline the setup and production using a
single hot folder for these products regardless of their finish size.
When you use this sheet size again for different
products, you can drag the new job onto a hot folder based on the template you created. Fiery Impose automatically creates a best-fit layout for the new job.
-
In the Fiery Impose
Settings pane, create a gangup layout by selecting
Gangup, and set the Finish Size to Based on
Trim Box.
-
Optional: you can create settings for gutters
() and trim marks ().
-
At the top of the
Settings pane, next to Template, click the save icon.
Choose a name for the template (perhaps based on the sheet size) and save as a regular imposed
job.
-
Open Hot Folders and click New to create a new Hot Folder.
-
In the Hot Folder Settings window that appears, type a name
for the hot folder. Click Select and then Connect to
connect to a Fiery server.
-
In the Hot Folder Settings window, next to Job
Properties, click Define.
-
In the Job Properties
window, select , and under Templates, choose the template that you created in
step 3 and click OK.
-
In the Hot Folder
Settings window, next to Job action, select the desired action,
such as Process and Hold, and click OK.
The hot folder is created on the desktop.
-
On the desktop, drag a new job with small
products to the hot folder.
-
Go back to the Fiery server. The job should appear there and be
processed.
Fiery Impose automatically determines the best layout, allowing the
maximum number of items to be printed.
