Imposition
The
layout of pages on the printed sheet so that they are
in the correct order when the sheet is folded up and
trimmed. Imagine a 16 page A5 leaflet printed on a single
SRA2 sheet. The sheet is folded in half three times before
trimming and stitching. If you look at the printed, unfolded
sheet you will see that, for example, page 2 is adjacent
to page 15 and half the pages are upside down! There
are many different imposition layouts - some of them
very complex.
