FAQ
Should I send single pages or two-page spreads?
Please provide your document as single-page vector PDFs in sequential order (1, 2, 3, 4...). I will generate the printer spreads/signatures according to your printer's binding requirements.
How do you handle paper creep for saddle-stitched booklets?
I calculate the exact paper thickness (GSM & caliper) and apply inner-page shingling/creep offsets so page margins remain uniform across all signatures after trimming.
What if my printer requires a specific gripper margin or sheet signature layout?
Just forward their press sheet size (e.g., 4-up, 8-up, 16-up) and gripper specifications, and I will tailor the imposition layout to their exact press setup.
