The innovative feature dramatically simplifies the creation of imposition schemes in which different books of similar sizes and paginations are planned together in individual lanes or tracks on the same layout.
This new feature is available within the Imp dashboard for complete control, but can also run as a fully automated function within the Imp Flow module.
The lane ganging software enables more economical production of short-run books by ganging the signatures from multiple books on the same sheet. Ordinarily this would create complications in the bindery, which could negate any productivity benefits. However, InSoft’s intelligent ganging algorithm combines signatures of similar jobs in individual lanes that can be easily slit/cut after printing.
Imposition is the foundation of InSoft Automation’s solutions for graphic arts and the printing industry. It is the only layout planning software in the book manufacturing segment that automates and creates cost-efficient layouts.
With the introduction of parallel imposition of books this month, InSoft now offers three different types of layout planning:
- Layout planning with universal JDF folding catalogue
- Unique custom signature designer for automating book printing layouts for conventional web offset presses. This is the only solution that automates production of books by conventional web presses
- Parallel book imposition or lane ganging of books
