Gangup printing in Fiery Impose
Fiery Impose provides Gangup Repeat, Gangup Unique, and Unique-Collate Cut imposition.
Fiery Impose also offers Duplo - Long Edge Feed and Duplo - Short Edge Feed for imposition jobs being finished on a Duplo offline finisher with bindery features such as folding, slitting, cutting, and creasing.
Gangup Repeat
The Repeat option enables "step-and-repeat" printing. Step-and-repeat is most often used when printing multiple copies of a single document.
The Best Fit for Gangup Repeat function automatically lays out the content on the sheet for optimal use of the sheet size, using a Gangup Repeat workflow. To use this feature, select the Best Fit for Gangup Repeat icon. For information, see Best Fit for Gangup Repeat.
Gangup Unique
The Unique option places pages in an arrangement that is often more appropriate for printing a single copy of a job. This option does not fully collate itself (hand collating is necessary), but optimizes the sheet size while limiting the run to a single copy.
Unique-Collate Cut
Unique-Collate Cut places pages in an arrangement that allows the pages to fall into the correct order when the sheets are stacked and cut. This option minimizes the need for collating by hand and is most appropriate for printing single copies of a document.
Duplo - Short Edge Feed
Duplo - Short Edge Feed sets a pagination direction that enables feeding the final printed sheet into a Duplo finisher at the sheet's short edge. The columns or rows are perpendicular to the shortest sheet edge.
VDP and non-VDP PDF and PostScript jobs can use Duplo finishing. You can automatically configure Duplo offline finishers by reading a simple barcode printed on the sheets. The finisher reads a registration mark on the sheet and positions the sheet in relation to the mark as the sheet feeds through the machine. When specifying Duplo for a gangup imposition layout, you can specify the registration and barcode in the Marks dialog box.
Duplo - Long Edge Feed
Setting Duplo - Long Edge Feed for a gangup imposition layout creates a pagination direction that enables the final printed sheet to be fed into a Duplo finisher at the sheet's long edge. The columns or rows are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the longest sheet edge.
You can use Duplo finishing for VDP and non-VDP PDF and PostScript jobs. Reading a simple barcode printed on the sheets automatically configures Duplo offline finishers. The finisher compensates for stack drift and image shift by reading a registration mark printed on the sheet and positioning the sheet in relation to the mark as the sheet feeds through the machine.
