Your printer will likely use special imposition software to arrange the book's pages into the optimal layout. Imposition refers to the process of arranging a book's pages so that once the printed signature sheets are folded and trimmed, the pages will appear in the correct order. It also streamlines the printing process and binding operation. The use of signatures allows multiple pages to print per press impression, which reduces the number of printing plates needed and minimizes paper waste. Known as signatures, these large sheets will be folded down and trimmed after they are printed. In offset printing, the pages of books are commonly printed on large sheets of paper, with multiple pages printed on each side of these sheets.
