Imposition layouts

Fiery Impose provides predefined layouts for common impositions such as booklets and brochures. You can also create and save custom layouts.

Fiery Impose supports layouts of up to 625 pages per sheet (1250 pages duplex), in a matrix of up to 25 rows by 25 columns. (Further limits may apply depending on the server you are connected to.) Gangup printing methods support all layout of rows and columns. Binding methods (Saddle, Nested Saddle, Perfect) support only the 1 x 2, 2 x 1, and 2 x 2 layouts.

The items below all affect the layout of the job.

Duplex printing

Not all printers support duplex printing, and of those that do, implementations can vary. Fiery Impose supports duplex printing that corresponds to the print options of the printer.

See Set Duplex in Fiery Impose.

Gutter sizes

Fiery Impose defines the locations of gutters for you according to the layout and sheet size governing the imposition of the job. For example, perfect-bound jobs typically require larger gutters than saddle-stitched jobs, in order to provide room for trimming off the spines and gluing signatures together when the book is bound.

See Set Gutters.

Setting margins

The size and location of the margin (the area between the outside edge of a group of imposed pages and the edge of the sheet) depends on the printer associated with the job. You cannot set custom margins. But you can use Scale to Fit to re-size the content on the sheet. Also, the Finish Size setting provides different options for setting the content with regard to the trim size.
