Imposition

The process of laying out individual pages or other pieces in final printing position is called imposition. The size and configuration of an imposition arrangement is dictated by the dimensions and printing orientation of the paper running through the press. For simple pieces such as business cards or labels, the imposition may consist of the same piece printed repeatedly.
