As w

crew of snorkel specialists from
a neighboring island
kayaking back from

a perfect hybrid! They looked
very m

picturesque sunset over the lagoon, it sud

set back into the ocean on the sam

REDEFINING IMPOSITION
InSoft, established in 1996, has been involved in the graphic arts and e-publishing software business since 2007, through its subsidiary, Metamation, and has been developing innovative software solutions for printing industry. Since August 2014, InSoft has assumed direct charge of the graphic arts and e-pub related software products.
With Imp, the aim was to completely automate planning & pre-press production while eliminating manual imposition and nesting. Our graphic solutions are used across the entire range of jobs printed by offset & digital printers such as book printing, commercial jobs & packaging with support for both sheet-fed & web presses. The powerful planning engine can be an ideal tool for creating quick estimates of complex nested layouts, thereby saving time and drastically increasing the efficiency.
InSoft Imp is a fully autmated imposition software for sheetfed and webfed presses with powerful ganging feature. Following features make Imp an ideal tool for error free and efficient imposition:
Imp is aware of most of the printing and binding processes, along with their technical constraints:
PRINTING PRESSES: BINDING PROCESS:
• Number of printing and coating units • Support to define custom binding processes
• Minimum & maximum paper caliper • Minimum & maximum book size and block thickness
• Plate Set back & Paper Gripper margins • Minimum & maximum cover size constraints
• Convertible & Tandem Perfecting support • Select supported folding templates per binding process
BEING AWARE OF PROCESS CONSTRAINTS
Imp’s interactive folding templates are based on the universal JDF folding template catalog. These templates are dymanic with an editor to create custom templates which are not part of JDF catalog.
These templates eliminates the need of making manual dummies with numbering and also ensures an unskilled person can also use this imposition tool with ease.

ONLY AUTOMATED IMPOSITION SOLUTION FOR WEBFED
The unique custom dynamic web folding template database ensures the same ease and automation of job imposition as on sheet-fed presses. Whether it’s a single web, multiple web or press with slitter attachment, Imp offers full automation in Job imposition.
Web 1 Web 2
Deliveries - 24 Web Direction
Template : 16pp + 8pp Double Web (Spine - Left, Jog - Top)
An example of multi-web folding template for 24 pages -
16 pages full web (outer/upper) and 8 pages half web (inner/lower)
There are many unique parameters in Imp that help create error free impositions:
Signature folding depth. For every folding template (signature template) Imp computes the maximum folding depth. Before considering such a template, Imp checks if this folding depth is compatible with the paper/media chosen. For example, for a 300gsm paper Imp will not consider a 32page template which requires 4 folds, but for a thinner or lighter paper, it will.
If user selects the folding template not compatible with a particular paper type, Imp will warn user thus avoiding and minimizing human errors.
Min. & Max. Section depth. Assembly of folded signatures for a good or feasible binding result is another problem Imp tackles automatically. In section sewing binding method it is important that signature thickness is optimum to provide strength for the thread to hold. To achieve the desired strength, multiple signatures are inserted (collected) into each other before going for section sewing. This task of imposition of inserted signatures is interactive in Imp based on the paper caliper, press size, binding and folding machine constraints.
300gsm can only be creased! 170gsm can take a 8pp folding 100gsm can take a 16pp folding

INNOVATIONS & EASE OF USE
Imp supports imposition of jobs with spine edge on any side - Left, Right, Top or Bottom. For Right spine jobs like Arabic books, the page order is changed automatically. In Top spine jobs Imp plans for both Normal Reading and Table Top Calendar styles. Examples of right and top spine bindings are shown below:
RIGHT & TOP-SPINE BOUND JOBS
N-UP PRINTING & BINDING
CREATING COVERS & JACKETS WITH SPINE
Right spine with Bottom Jog Top-Spine Table-Top Calendar Top-Spine Normal Reading
Small size jobs which are out of folding or binding machine minimum-size limitation can be easily imposed by using the N-up printing feature. Just enter the N-up factor and Imp will use the standard folding templates and use them as per the N-up factor defined.
An example of N-up (2up) folding:
- The challenge in bound jobs is to find out the spine thickness. In Imp it is automated.
- Pasting sheets & Jacket components are created automatically in Imp.
- User can create & save the cover templates as parametric models. These can adopt to any trim size.

Handling of spread pages was never easier. User can input PDF file with Spread Pages for a job. Imp automatically splits the spreads into individual pages and places them on their respective position on the imposition template. It is not required to make new imposition templates just to handle spread page. Also, Imp has the intelligence to auto-detect spread pages interspersed between normal pages in the same PDF and give them appropriate treatment.
HANDLING SPREADS
Imp can auto-impose jobs for cut & stack binding. Imp’s dynamic templates adapt to the cut & stack binding method, and page order is automatically assigned. This functionality is predominantly used for producing books on digital presses like HP Indigo, Canon, Xerox, Ricoh, Konika etc.

Creep compensation is essential where binding process needs collecting of multiple signatures. Imp gives the option to apply the creep compensation based on paper caliper (thickness) or custom value in multiple ways - Towards Spine, Towards Face or Both! Inspite of this automated creep compensation, user can edit creep value on individual pages. This option ensures that the content is not disturbed in case of running images or text on facing pages!

For proper finishing, it is important to follow the grain direction requirement of a finished printed product and the press sheet used for printing the job. In Imp user can define the grain direction required in the finished product and while imposition, define the grain direction of the press sheet. When the imposition is done, the orientation of job on sheet is checked and in case user rotated the job on the sheet and their is a grain mis-match, Imp will warn user. This results in eliminating human intervention thus reducing errors and increasing accuracy and efficiency!
HONOURING GRAIN DIRECTION OF PRODUCT & PRESS SHEET
User can define all the marks used in an imposition flat as a dynamic marks template. These marks are snapped to Plate, Paper, Print are bleed and trim size. As per the actual parameters of these production parameters, all the marks defined in marks template reposition automatically without any human intervention.
The most innovative mark feature is auto-substitution of color bars and other custom marks as per colors in job. User can select different color bars for different presses and different color combinations. As per the job definition and press selected for a layout, Imp will add correct marks.
DYNAMIC MARKS TEMPLATES
Collation marks on spine or jog can be assigned with ease. Different patterns are available with custom color fills for multiple signature collecting and gathering scenarios.

BINDING & FOLDING RELATED WARNINGS
MESSAGE
Content not assigned
PDF files missing
PDF document permissions problem
Imported mark file missing
Sheet/Web goes outside plate dimension
Front & back pages of different size found
Collisions
No crop marks
No fold marks
Grain direction mismatch
Colour mismatch

DESCRIPTION
Some of the job pages which are being imposed do not have content
assigned to it. Even if a placeholder or a blank page is assigned, this warning
will not be raised.
A PDF document assigned to some of the pages could not be found. It is not
present at the expected location.
A PDF document assigned to some of the pages being exported, do not
have copy permissions. The creator of that PDF document restricted the
permissions.
A PDF mark placed on one of the layout is missing. It is not found in the
Marks folder.
For one or more of the layouts being imposed, the size of the sheet/web
exceeds the plate dimension
This warning is raised only for bound jobs. It is raised when the size of the
recto page does not match the size of the verso page. A similar warning
would have been raised in the Bound component editor also.
There is overlap between jobs on one or more layout.
No crop marks were found on the layout even though Imp identified that
some of the jobs require crop marks.
No fold marks were found on the layout even though Imp identified that
some of the jobs require fold marks.
The grain preference of some of the jobs being imposed has been violated.
Not all the colours required for one or more jobs are being printed.
Not all the coatings required for one or more jobs are being applied.
Some of the job pages which are being imposed have placeholders assigned
to them. Ignore this warning if an unpopulated JDF is being exported.
The constraints defined by the machines that process the layout have been
breached. Any one of the following could be the reason
- Size of the sheet/web is out of bounds.
