Specify booklet, scale, or bleeds for VDP imposition

VDP imposition settings for multi-up booklet, bleeds, and scale differ slightly from the settings for a standard Fiery Impose job.

Set multi-up booklet for VDP jobs

You can specify a 2 x 2 Unique Booklet when you select Saddle for a VDP job. (This lets you print two records on a sheet.) For records of different lengths, Fiery Impose automatically adds blank pages based on pagination requirements.

You can save the settings as a preset that you can select from Virtual Printers or Hot Folders.

  1. Select a job in the Held list in Command WorkStation, and then click Actions > Impose.
  2. In the Fiery Impose window, click Booklet for the product intent, and Saddle for the binding type.
  3. Click Left, Right, or Top for the binding style.
  4. To specify sheet size, click Edit beside the Sheet text field.
  5. To specify cover settings, click Cover, and then click None, Inside, Outside, or Both Sides in the Front Cover and Back Cover menus.
    Note: You cannot change the media type for a VDP job’s cover.
  6. Specify Layout Orientation, and then click 2 X 2 Unique Booklet for Row & Column.
    Note: 2 x 2 Unique booklet is only available for VDP jobs. If you are imposing a PostScript or PDF job, and using the same template, the setting defaults to 2 x 2 Repeat booklet.
  7. Specify other settings as required.

Set bleeds or scaling in VDP imposition

Setting bleeds in VDP imposition affects trim mark location. By default, Fiery Impose places the trim marks at the edge of the image. If you apply bleed values for VDP imposition, the trim marks are offset automatically by the amount of the bleed.

Do any of the following:
  • For Bleed, enter the bleed values in the Horizontal and Vertical fields.

  • In the Scale pane, from the Scaling menu, select Scale to Fit, 100%, or Custom.

    If you chose Custom, enter a scale factor in the Scale Factor field.
