Imposing Issues

• A rise in the need for more downstream automation, allowing imposition tools to assist in tasks such as color management—as in registering ink key settings in CIP3 workflows—as well as aiding in the automation of folding, cutting and binding tasks at the postpress stage. As Imation's marketing manager Michael Reiher puts it: "Imposition is looking to simplify life at the press, not just at the prepress, stage. Imposition software is looking to pass information along the entire digital workflow, allowing for more automated steps at the press and postpress."
