Imposition templates

Fiery Impose provides predefined templates. You can also create custom templates.

The predefined templates are Normal, Booklet, and Gangup:

Normal includes Default Template and 1-up full bleed.
Booklet includes 2-up perfect, 2-up saddle, and 4-up head to head.
Gangup includes 3-up trifold brochure, 4-up gate fold, 4-up z Fold.

Note: The default pre-defined imposition templates use the Based on Crop Box finish size setting.

You can create a custom template by changing the settings in a predefined template. Select the template, make changes, and save the template with a new name. (Not all settings may be available for custom templates.) The new settings are applied immediately. The Fiery server must support Fiery Impose, and you must have the appropriate license.

Note: Custom templates created with Japanese style marks can only be used within Fiery Impose.

In the Preferences dialog box, you can set a path to the folder or directory where you want to store custom templates.

Imposition templates can also be edited from Fiery Hot Folders, if you have a Fiery Impose license. The custom imposition templates now support the User Defined and Based on Trim Box finish size workflows. User Defined uses the PDF trim box defined in the source document as the finish size. The user can override the default value to set the trim size. Based on Trim Box is available for gangup imposition only. The Based on Trim Box workflow is an automated workflow that dynamically creates the layout for different smaller-sized items (such as business cards, postcards, or concert tickets) on a larger-sized sheet (such as 11 x 17).

Note: The User Defined and Based on Trim Box finish size workflows require PDF source files. PostScript files are not supported.
