  1. PageDNA Account Upgrade: Imposition Module Date: 2012 Q3

  2. What is the Imposition Module?: This optional account upgrade provides extensive automation for production of like-sized, typeset items such as business cards. Items are auto-grouped/ganged and these sets of orders are pushed to an external FTP site based on rules and schedules.

  3. PageDNA Fact: 21% of PageDNA orders route through the Imposition Module.

  4. How it works: Any items linked to Imposition system enter a queue, and are then auto-grouped into ‘gangs’ based on schedules and rules you set.

  5. Example: 4-up plate layout

  6. Example: 4-up plate layout Items in queue: 1 order for 500 qty 2 orders for 250 qty

  7. Example: 4-up plate layout Items in queue: 1 order for 500 qty 2 orders for 250 qty

  8. The system optimizes the layout for the ideal grouping for the least amount of waste.

  9. Imposition features: 1 and 2 sided support
 2 sided: individual files or combined PDF output algorithm options: • prioritize older items first
 • allow or disallow partial plates • force unique item to each row in gang • define maximum run lengths

  10. Imposition features (continued): group items by: • storefront (1 or more storefronts ► gang) •products •unique quantities •rush status •material •finishing •ship to country

  11. Imposition features (continued): plate layout flexibility • eg, 12-up, 21-up, different sheet sizes, etc •build as needed • configurable for gutters, registration marks, sluglines rules for triggers and schedules, e.g.: • rush orders plate immediately • customers A, B, C Mon/Wed/Friday • batch at 9am local time zone • auto or hand-batching delivery via FTP push or email notification see documentation library for further details.
