Automating the printing of small items on a larger sheet: dynamic trim box automation

Dynamic trim box automation is automatic media-size-based imposition for gangup layouts.

After creating a gangup layout, you can save it as a template and use it to automatically lay out other jobs. You need only one such template per sheet size. When a gangup job comes in, you can drag the new job onto a hot folder based on the sheet size template. Fiery Impose automatically determines the best layout (n-up and orientation) for the job, allowing the maximum number of items per sheet to be printed.

This automated workflow, which uses the Based on Trim Box finish size, dynamically creates the layout for different small items (such as business cards, postcards, or concert tickets) on a larger-sized sheet (such as 11x17). This workflow applies only to gangup jobs.

Note: You can use custom imposition templates created with the Based on Trim Box workflow, or with the user defined workflow, with Hot Folders, Virtual Printers, Presets, and Command WorkStation Job Properties. For information about supported workflows, required software licenses, and level of Fiery system software needed on the Fiery server you are connected to, see Support for User Defined and Based on Trim Box finish size templates.
