IMPOSER PRO™

Expert Printer Flats for QuarkXPress

OVERVIEW

Imposer Pro is an XTension to QuarkXPress that imposes document pages into printer flats. Imposer Pro offers three sheet types (2-Up, 4-Up, or 8-Up) and four imposition types (Standard, Work & Turn, Work & Tumble, Split Web, and Sheet Wise). To meet all your imposition needs, you can choose which pages to impose and how many signatures to create, so you can use different imposition methods for the same document.

Imposer Pro compensates for bleed, creep, crossover trapping, page gaps, spread gaps, and plate margins according to your specifications. Imposer also allows for the placement of custom marks when used in conjunction with the MarkIt XTension (also from a lowly apprentice production, inc.).

The XTension never affects the layout of your QuarkXPress document because the imposition is all handled in the print stream. Imposer Pro doesn't add, shuffle, or rotate pages. You don't need to worry about how many pages are in the document or how the document is set up.

To use Imposer Pro, follow these steps:

• Open the QuarkXPress document you want to impose.

• Display the Imposer Pro dialog box (File menu, below the Print command).

• Set up the imposition using the Layout and Preview panels of the Imposer Pro dialog box.

• Use the Preview dialog box to verify that your Layout settings will work for the print job.

• Click Print to specify further settings using a variation of the QuarkXPress Print dialog box.

• Imposer Pro provides an interactive Help area to provide information while you're working. To display the area, click the triangle in the lower left corner of the Imposer Pro dialog box. Point at any item to display information about it in the Help area.

Un-installing (Windows Only)

The Un-install application will remove all files installed. To un-install Imposer Pro, from the Start menu, select Programs•• Imposer Pro • Remove Imposer Pro.

Installing a Demonstration Version

To introduce the benefits of Imposer Pro to other QuarkXPress users, we've included an unserialized, limited-function version of the XTension. On the Mac, click Demo in the Product Registration dialog box. On Windows, type “demo” in the Serial Number field in the Product Registration dialog box. Feel free to share Imposer Pro (for demos only!) with friends and coworkers. Demo Note: Installing a demo version of Imposer Pro temporarily converts QuarkXPress to a demo as well. When QuarkXPress is in demo mode, you cannot save files. However, it's still a good idea to work with copies of documents — never the originals. To get out of demo mode, remove the demo version of Imposer Pro from your XTension folder or use an XTensions manager to disable it.

Using this Manual

This manual focuses on showing you how to use Imposer Pro. The procedures assume you are familiar with QuarkXPress and the printing method your document requires.

Throughout this manual, the names of commands, fields, buttons, etc. are set in bold type. The notation “Choose File • Imposer” indicates that you should select the Imposer command from the File menu.

SETTING PREVIEW OPTIONS

While you're setting up an imposition for a document, you can preview the printer flats as often as necessary. You can control how the previews display — for example, how many colors are displayed in the preview or whether page numbers display. The options are saved with the XTension and apply to all documents (the options are not document- specific).

Although you can start using Imposer Pro without worrying about these settings, you may want to skim through the dialog box so you're familiar with the controls. After working with Imposer Pro for a while, you'll start to see which settings work best for you.

To change these options:

1 Choose File • Imposer and click the Preview tab.

2 Click the arrow in the upper right corner of the dialog box to display the Options menu. Choose Preview Options from the menu.

Tip: You can also C+click (Mac) or Right+ click (Windows) anywhere in the Preview panel to display the Options menu.

3 Choose a color depth for the previews from the menu. Although all the options are available, the preview is limited to the number of colors your monitor can display.

Note: The more colors you choose to display, the more memory the XTension requires. The Black & White option requires the least amount of memory, while Millions of Colors requires the greatest.

4 Use the check boxes in the Preview area to determine whether page guides, bleed guides, and page numbers display by default. Regardless of your preference settings, you can use the Options menu to toggle these on and off while previewing printer flats.

• Check Display Page Guides to display non- printing lines that frame the trim area of each page.

• Check Display Bleed Guides to screen back the parts of items that bleed off the page.

• Check Display Page Numbers to display the “section” page number of each page.

Section page numbers are assigned through the QuarkXPress Section dialog box (Page menu).

5 Use the buttons in the Color area to customize the color of the page guides, the page number swatches, and the area surrounding the page previews.

Clicking the Page Guide, Page # Background, or Background button displays the standard system color picker. Select a color model from the scrolling area at left, select a different color, then click OK to return to the Preview Options dialog box.

6 When you're finished modifying these options, click OK to save your changes.

PREVIEWING PRINTER FLATS

The Preview panel of the Imposer Pro dialog box lets you confirm the settings you make in the Layout panel. For example, you can see how the pages are rotated and you can check the bleed amount.

To open the Imposer Pro dialog box, choose File•• Imposer. To switch between the Preview and Layout panels, click the tabs. Use the re-size box in the lower right corner to increase the previewing area.

Navigating Pages in the Preview

You can navigate through the previews using the scroll bar under the preview area or using keyboard commands.

Displaying a Corresponding Page in QuarkXPress

If you want to see the QuarkXPress page that corresponds with a preview, Shift+click in the page preview. QuarkXPress will display the page in the document window.

Displaying Guides, Bleeds, and Page Numbers

Settings in the Preview Options dialog box control whether page guides, bleed guides, and page numbers display in the previews by default. While you're previewing flats, you can quickly hide and display these visual aids using the Options menu.

To display the Options menu, click the arrow in the upper right corner or C+click (Mac) or Right+click (Windows) anywhere in the Preview panel. A check mark next to an option indicates that it's being displayed; choose an option to change it to the opposite state (displayed or hidden).

• Display Page Guides displays non-printing lines that frame the trim area of each page.

• Display Bleed Guides screens back the parts of items that bleed off the page.

• Display Page Numbers displays the “section” page number of each page. Section page numbers are assigned through the QuarkXPress Section dialog box (Page menu).

Displaying Layout Panel Settings

While you're in the Preview panel, you can display a summary of the current settings in the Layout panel. To display the summary, click the triangle in the lower left corner of the Imposer Pro dialog box to open the Help area. Point at one of the thumbnails to display the summary.

SETTING UP PRINTER FLATS

Before you set up printer flats, you'll need to work closely with the printer, bindery, and other vendors to confirm that the imposition will work with their setup. The printer may, in fact, simply tell you how to set it up.

When setting up printer flats, you'll use a combination of controls in the Preview and Layout panels. Then, you'll enter the QuarkXPress Print dialog box to print the pages. Note: Throughout this discussion, the term “printer flat” refers to a collection of pages that will be imaged on a single sheet. The term “printer spreads” refers to two pages next to each other on a sheet of paper.

Step 1: Specifying a Sheet Type

The sheet type is the number of pages on each signature: two, four, or eight. The type of imposition you select in Imposer Pro — 2-Up, 4-Up, or 8-Up — controls the types of imposition available.

• For 2-Up, Standard imposition is available.

• For 4-Up, Standard, Work & Turn, Work & Tumble, and Sheet Wise imposition are available.

• For 8-Up, Standard, Work & Turn, Work & Tumble, Split Web, and Sheet Wise imposition are available.

To specify a sheet type, open the Imposer Pro dialog box and click the Layout tab. Then, click the 2-Up, 4-Up, or 8-Up tab.

Step 2: Specifying an Imposition Type

Since the type of imposition interacts with the binding and determines which other options are available, it's important to understand how each type functions.

• Standard places the number of pages you specify for the sheet type on each flat: two for 2-Up, four for 4-Up, or eight for 8-Up. For example, if you select 4-Up Standard, an eight-page document will yield two unique printer flats, a 16-page document will yield four unique printer flats, and so on (provided that you choose Saddle Stitch or Perfect Bound for the binding).

• Work & Turn places four (4-Up) or eight (8-Up) pages on each flat, in which the printed press sheet is turned from left to right. Saddle Stitch and Perfect Bound binding will yield duplicate printer spreads.

• Work & Tumble places four (4-Up) or eight (8-Up) pages per flat, in which the printed press sheet is tumbled top to bottom. Saddle Stitch and Perfect Bound binding will yield unique printer spreads, which are then duplicated front and back.

• Split Web, available only for 8-Up sheets, places eight pages on each flat. Split Web allows you to impose a document over several forms when printing to a Web press that can be configured to run multiple roll stands. In the Sheets field, enter the number of roll stands to be configured. For example, entering 2 in the Sheets field will impose 2 forms that make up one 32-page signature. In the Layout panel, you can toggle between the forms Imposer Pro will print.

• Sheet Wise places four (4-Up) or eight (8-Up) pages on each flat, but it creates different plates for each side of the press sheet. Use this option when printing full signatures that yield one signature out on a press. When you choose Sheet Wise, the Units menu lets you choose how many units out to produce.

To specify an imposition type, first confirm the sheet type in the Layout tab: 2-Up, 4-Up, or 8-Up. Then, choose an option from the Type menu.

Note: If you choose Sheet Wise, choose an option from the Units menu. If you choose Split Web, enter a value in the Sheets field and click the arrows at the bottom of the Layout panel to view the different forms.

Step 3: Specifying a Binding Type

The type of binding you choose affects how the printer flats are created:

• Choose None if the pages will not be bound. None offsets any two (2-Up), four (4-Up) or eight (8-Up) pages from the Start Page specified in the Preview panel.

• Choose Saddle Stitch if the pages will be stapled.

• Choose Perfect Bound if the pages will be bound to the cover with adhesive.

Note: Choosing Saddle Stitch or Perfect Bound enables the Signatures menu in the Preview panel, which allows you to specify how many signatures to create.

To specify a binding type, first confirm the sheet type and imposition type in the Layout tab. Then, choose an option from the Binding menu.

Step 4: Flipping and Moving Pages

Once you have the pages arranged, you can rearrange pages if necessary and decide whether pages need to be flipped (head-to- head, for example).

•To rearrange pages, click the Page Sequence Numbering tool in the Layout panel. If you've selected None for the binding, click on each thumbnail to display a menu. The menu lets you arrange the pages any way you want. If you've selected Saddle Stitch or Perfect Bound, click a thumbnail to specify the location of page

1. Page 1 must remain a right-facing page.

• To flip pages, click the Page Flipping tool in the Layout panel. Click the thumb- nails to flip them; in 4-Up Standard, 4-Up Work & Turn, or 4-Up Work & Tumble, you can flip the top and bottom sets of thumbnails separately.

Step 5: Specifying Bleed

The value in the Bleed field specifies the amount of space used to allow page elements to print beyond the edge of the trimmed page. Enter a value between zero and the smallest margin. The value you enter in the Bleed field will affect only the face of a printer flat (the top, bottom, and outside page edges). To control the bleed between pages for Saddle Stitch or Perfect Bound publications, refer to Crossover.

Step 6: Specifying Creep

The value in the Creep field specifies the amount of space necessary to accommodate paper thickness and folding in Saddle Stitch or Perfect Bound publications. Enter a value between –2" and +2". For Saddle Stitch publications, the value specifies the distance contents move. For Perfect Bound publications, the value specifies the distance pages move relative to the spine.

How Creep Works

Imposer Pro considers the “cover” of the final piece to be the outermost printer flat while the “centerfold” is considered to be the innermost printer flat. The term “sheet” is used to represent two printer flats — the front of the sheet and the back of the sheet. The “creep increment” is calculated by dividing the user-supplied creep value by the total number of sheets minus one.

For example, a 16-page QuarkXPress document could yield eight printer flats, or four sheets. The front of the first sheet will consist of the first printer flat (pages 16 and 1) while the back of the first sheet will consist of the second printer flat (pages 2 and 15). For the sake of this discussion, if the user- supplied creep value was 24 pts (we realize this is an extreme) the creep increment will be 8 pts per sheet (24 divided by 3).

The amount of creep applied to the outermost sheet will be 24 pts, the amount of creep applied to the second sheet will be 16 pts and the amount of creep applied to the third sheet will be 8 pts. No creep will be applied to the fourth and innermost sheet. As our example illustrates, the amount of creep for each successive sheet was decreased by the creep increment.

In summary, each page on the outermost sheet is moved 12 pts (half of the 24 pt creep value for this sheet) away from the spine, each page on the second sheet is moved 8 pts (half of the 16 pt creep value for this sheet) away from the spine, each page on the third sheet is moved 4 pts (half of the 8 pt creep value for this sheet) away from the spine. Pages on the fourth and innermost sheet are not moved.

Binding Value Movement

Step 7: Specifying Crossover

The value in the Crossover field specifies the amount of space used to allow page elements to encroach the Gap in Saddle Stitch or Perfect Bound publications. (Think of it as a bleed for in between pages.) Enter a value between zero and half the Vertical Gap value.

Step 8: Specifying Margins

Values in the Margins area specify the amount of space that will surround the actual printer flat (after trimming). Enter values between 0 and 288 points in the Top, Left, Bottom, and Right fields.

Step 9: Specifying Gaps

Values in the Gaps area specify the amount of space that will be placed between imposed pages and spreads. Enter values between 0 and 288 points in the Vertical, Horizontal, and Spread fields.

• The Vertical field represents the distance between the right side of the left page and the left side of the right page.

A Vertical gap value is required if the flat has a crossover. For Perfect Bound publications, if you are creeping in (with a negative value), the minimum Vertical gap value is the width of the Creep value. If you're manually creating signatures (for example, if there are different stocks in the same publication), you can enter a value in the Vertical field to specify a starting creep for flats that belong to different signatures.

• The Horizontal field represents the distance between the bottom of the upper printer spread and the top of the lower printer spread.

•A Horizontal gap value is not available for 2-Up flats but is required for 4-Up flats that bleed.

• The Spread field, available for 8-Up flats only, represents the vertical space between the two sets of printer spreads.

Step 10: Specifying Registration Marks

Imposer Pro lets you print documents without registration marks, with standard registration marks, and with custom registration marks from the MarkIt XTension (also by a lowly apprentice production, inc.).

1 In the Imposer Pro dialog box, click the Preview tab.

2 Choose an option from the Registration menu.

• Choose Off to print without registration marks.

• Choose Center or Off Center to print Imposer Pro's default marks, which include four targets, trim marks, bleed marks, fold lines, a text slug, a gray bar, and color bar (when printing separations).

Note: The position of the registration marks is controlled by the value you enter in the Bleed field in the Layout panel.

• If the MarkIt XTension is present, you can choose one of its registration styles. For information on creating MarkIt styles, please refer to your MarkIt documentation. For information about purchasing MarkIt, visit www.alap.com.

Step 11: Printing with Imposer Pro

Printing with Imposer Pro differs slightly from printing with the standard QuarkXPress controls. You'll notice that some of the controls are missing, rearranged, or renamed in Imposer Pro's Print dialog box. For example, the Registration menu has been removed because you have already specified registration in the Preview panel of the Imposer Pro dialog box.

To print with Imposer Pro:

1 Confirm your print setup as follows: • In QuarkXPress 3.3x, choose File • Page Setup. Confirm all the settings, and then click OK. • In QuarkXPress 4.x–5.x, choose File • Print, and then click the Page Setup button at the bottom of the Print dialog box. Confirm all the settings, and then click Capture Settings.

2 Choose File • Imposer, then confirm all the settings in the Preview and Layout panels of the Imposer Pro dialog box.

3 Click Print in the Imposer Pro dialog box or press Return/Enter; this opens a modified QuarkXPress Print dialog box.

Creating Custom Impositions

You are not limited to a single imposition type within a document. You can choose which pages to impose a certain way, print those, and then impose and print the remaining pages separately. For example, you may need to print the covers of a document separately.

Say you're printing a 12-page book. You can print eight of the pages 4-Up and the remaining two pages 2-Up. This results in three printer flats. If you don't customize the imposition in this scenario, and say print the entire book 4-Up, Imposer Pro will add four blank pages and print four printer flats.

The Preview tab provides these controls:

• Start Page: To specify which page to start creating this batch of printer flats from, enter a page number in the Start Page field. For example, to exclude the front cover and inside front cover, enter “+3” in the Start Page field.

Note: You can enter section page numbers (such as iii or 1.3) or absolute page numbers (preceded by a plus sign) in the Start Page and End Page fields.

• End Page: To specify the last page for this batch of printer flats, enter a page number in the End Page field. If you don't know the last page in the document, you can enter “end.”

• Signatures: If you selected Saddle Stitch or Perfect Bound, you can change the number of signatures created by choosing an option from the Signatures menu.

CREATING AND CHOOSING STYLES

Once you've set up an imposition for a document, you can save it as an “imposition style.” All the styles you create are saved with the Imposer Pro XTension and are available to all your documents; you can import and export styles to share them with other Imposer Pro users.

The Style menu in the Layout panel lets you create, edit, and choose styles. Another Style menu in the Preview panel lets you choose a style as well.

Standard Style

Imposer Pro comes with a default imposition style called Standard. If you click the Style menu in the Layout panel, you'll notice a bullet next to Standard, indicating that it's in use.

If Standard or any other style is italicized, it means you have overridden its settings with your own settings. If you're setting up an imposition for a one-time use, you can continue working this way. Otherwise, you may want to either edit Standard to include your own settings or create a new style.

Creating a Style

To create an imposition style from the current settings in the Preview and Layout panels:

1 Click the Layout tab, and then choose Add from the Style menu in the upper left corner.

2 Enter a name for the style in the Name field and click OK.

3 Click the Style menu and notice that your new style is automatically selected. Any changes you make to the current setup from this point on will override the style (and the style will display in italics) unless you update the style.

Updating a Style

If you choose a style, then continue to modify the setup, you can update the style itself to reflect your changes. Once you modify the active style's setup, the selected style is italicized in the Layout panel's Style menu and the Update command becomes available.

To update the selected style to reflect the current settings in the Preview and Layout panels, choose Update from the Style menu. The style's name will no longer be italicized.

Choosing a Style

To choose an imposition style for the current document, click the icon in the upper left corner of the Layout or Preview panel to display the Style menu. Choose Standard or one of the styles you created. A bullet displays next to the style in use.

Editing the Style List

Once you've created a variety of styles, you may need to start renaming or deleting some of the styles. To do this:

1 Click the Layout tab, and then choose Edit from the Style menu in the upper left corner.

Delete. Shift+click to select continuous styles; C+click (Mac)/Control+click (Windows) to select discontinuous styles.

3 To rename a style, select it and click Rename. Enter a new name in the Name field and click OK.

4 When you're finished editing the list of styles, click Save.

Sharing Styles with Other Users

You and other Imposer Pro users can share styles by importing and exporting them. To do this:

1 Click the Layout tab, and then choose Edit from the Style menu in the upper left corner.

2 To import styles from another user, click Import. Use the directory dialog box to locate and select the file and click Open.

3 To export styles, first select them. Shift+click to select continuous styles; C+click (Mac)/Control+click (Windows) to select discontinuous styles.

4 Click Export. Use the directory dialog box to select a location for the file, then enter a name in the Export as field. Click Save.

5 When you're finished importing/exporting styles, click Save.

SAMPLE IMPOSITION SCENARIOS

To use Imposer Pro effectively, you need to fully understand the types of imposition it offers. This section provides a real-world example of the imposition types in action.

Saddle-Stitch Scenario

Let's say you're creating printer spreads for a 16-page document. In the Layout panel, click the 2-Up tab and choose Saddle Stitch from the Binding menu. Specify any necessary values for Margins, Gaps, Bleed, etc., then click the Preview tab. To print all the pages in the document, enter +1 in the Start Page field and 16 in the End Page field. Select an option from the Registration menu, then click Print. This setup prints eight 2-page printer flats.

Now, let's say the printer requests a four-up configuration for the same document. All you do is click the 4-Up tab in the Layout panel and leave the Type set at Standard. All the other settings remain the same. (If you specified a Bleed value, the Horizontal Gap is automatically set to twice the Bleed value.) This setup prints four 4-page printer flats.

Perfect-Bound Scenario

Let's say your document is 116 pages in reader-spread format (including the front and back covers). This job may require two print runs, one for the cover and one for the guts.

• Cover Output: In the Layout panel, click the 2-Up tab and choose Perfect Bound from the Binding menu. To compensate for the spine, enter a value in the Horizontal Gap field. Enter values in the other fields as necessary, then click the Preview tab. Enter +1 in the Start Page field and 116 in the End Page field, but then choose 1 from the Signature menu. Choose an option from the Registration menu, then click Print. This setup prints the first two printer flats.

• Guts Output: In the Layout panel, click the 4-Up tab (if your printer requests printer spreads, click the 2-Up tab). Specify any necessary values for Margins, Gaps, Bleed, etc., noting that the Horizontal Gap for the spine is no longer necessary. Click the Preview tab and enter +3 in the Start Page field and 114 in the End Page field.

Leave the Signature menu at its default setting, which is 28. Choose an option from the Registration menu, then click Print. This setup prints the remainder of the document in 4 up flats.

Since there are 112 pages of guts to impose in eight-page signatures, and 112/8=14, this setup prints 14 signatures. (Imposer Pro would allow you to create 15 signatures from this document if it included the covers.)

Work & Turn Scenario

Let's say you've got a four-page brochure. The printer is planning to print this 4-up as a work-and-turn job and has requested composed flats. In the Layout panel, click the 4-Up tab, choose Work & Turn from the Type menu and either Saddle Stitch or Perfect Bound from the Binding menu. Enter values in the other fields as necessary, then click the Preview tab. Enter +1 in the Start Page field and 4 in the End Page field. Choose an option from the Registration menu, then click Print.

Work & Tumble Scenario

Using the same example as work-and-turn, let's say the printer requests film for a work- and-tumble job. The only change you need to make is to choose Work & Tumble from the Type menu in the Layout panel. Since Work & Tumble prints two flats with the same contents, you only need to print both flats if the printer requests two sets of film.

Split Web Scenario

In this example, say you're printing a 16- page book to a Web press with two roll stands. Each press unit will print a 8-page signature. Both rolls are printed at the same time and collated in line to be final folded into a 16-page stapled book. In the Layout panel, click the 8-Up tab and then choose Split Web from the Type menu, (note: Units will default to 2 out), choose Saddle Stitch from the Binding menu. Proceed as usual.
