Automate gangup imposition with Hot Folders

You can automate the setup of gangup imposition (for example, for business cards or postcards) to print on the same sheet size, and streamline the setup and production using a single hot folder for these products regardless of their finish size.

When you use this sheet size again for different products, you can drag the new job onto a hot folder based on the template you created. Fiery Impose Plus automatically creates a best-fit layout for the new job.

  1. In the Fiery Impose Plus Settings pane, create a gangup layout by selecting Gangup, and set the Finish Size to Based on Trim Box.
  2. (Optional) Click Define for the Gutter option to specify settings for gutters.
  3. (Optional) Click Define for the Marks option to specify trim marks.
  4. Click the save icon at the top of the Settings pane.
  5. Type a name for the template and save as a regular imposed job.
  6. Open Hot Folders.
  7. Click New to create a new hot folder.
  8. Type a name for the hot folder in the Hot Folder Settings window.
  9. Click Select and then click Connect to connect to a Fiery server.
  10. Select Define for the Job Properties option.
  11. In the Job Properties window, select Layout > Impose.
  12. Select the template that you created for the Templates option.
  13. Click OK.
  14. In the Hot Folder Settings window, select a desired action for the Job action option.
  15. Click OK.

    The hot folder is created on the desktop.

  16. On the desktop, drag a new job with small products to the hot folder.
  17. Go to the Fiery server. The job should appear there and be processed.

    Fiery Impose Plus automatically determines the best layout to print the maximum number of items.
