Optimized production plan

5
Optimal Plan
  • Includes parameters related to
  • Printing (press, paper, work style)
  • Folding (folding scheme)
  • Binding and trimming (assembly method)
  • Largely determines the imposition, BUT
  • No exact positions (no creep, no bottling, )
  • No press marks, slug lines

Assembly
  • Perfect bound ? Gathering (on a pile)
  • Saddlestitch ? Collecting (on a saddle)
  • Mixed assembly is possible as well

Layout
  • Imposition parameters like work style, assembly,
    and binding are implicit
  • Positions are absolute
  • Marks are included
  • Flattened description no difference between one
    16-page signature and two 8-pages signatures on a
    sheet

23
Imposition in Digital Printing
24
Imposition in digital printing
  • Generates an imposition Layout from high level
    parameters
  • Useful for digital printers with integrated
    prepress
  • Supports controls for specifying
  • Multi-up regular grid of page cells
  • Scaling and rotation of reader pages for page
    cell mapping
  • Single sided or perfected (head to head/foot)
    sheets
  • Auto generation of sheet marks and slug lines
  • Page distribution schemes for saddle, and perfect
    binding
  • Sequential cut block distribution (i.e. cut and
    stack post cards)
  • Control for vert, horiz, and stack wise
    distribution of cut blocks
  • Independent horiz/vert gutter spacing and creep
    compensation
  • Document and cut block step and repeat
  • VDP document ganging

25
LayoutPreparationParams
  • NumberUp
  • Rows and columns of PageCells
  • PageDistributionScheme
  • Distribution of PageCells over NumberUp (Saddle,
    Perfect, Sequential)
  • PresentationDirection
  • Distribution of pages into NumberUp (FoldCatalog,
    XYZxyz)
  • Sides
  • OneSidedFront, OneSidedBackFlipX/Y,
    TwoSidedFlipX/Y
  • FinishingOrder
  • GatherFold, FoldGather, FoldCollect, Gather
  • StepRepeat

26
LayoutPreparationsParams
  • ImageShift
  • InsertSheet
  • FitPolicy
  • PageCell
  • Border, Color

MIS to Prepress ICS
  • Level 1 ImpositionPreparation Gray Box
  • BinderySignature only FoldCatalog
  • StrippingParams no SectionList
  • Assembly no mixed assemblies
  • StripCellParams only TrimSize is mandatory

Summary

Summary
  • Three imposition methods covering different needs
  • Stripping (MIS -gt Prepress)
  • Layout (Imposition program -gt RIP)
  • LayoutPreparation (Prepress -gt Digital press)
  • Open issues for imposition (aka step repeat)
    for packaging
