Plan complex jobs with ease
With the system’s knowledge of a
job’s requirements, and your shop’s
resources, you can quickly create
accurate impositions, even for jobs
with multiple individual components.
The system clearly defines the distinct
production differences between covers
and inside text sections, for example.
To mix binding styles, simply drag-and-
drop elements and then verify the final
product in the Assembly View.

When a complex imposition is ready,
you can print a report of the detailed job
plan, for signoffs, or to include with the
job ticket. Then output JDF information
with the folding and cutting data, to
speed up post press operations.

minimize waste, automatically
Use manual or auto-ganging to find the
optimal arrangement of several jobs on a
single press sheet—automatically rotate
and arranging elements as necessary—
to minimize press sheet waste and save
on make ready time.

Enhanced AutoGang functionality
Assembly view for complex bindery control
Preps Software is JDF compliant, so
you can import JDF files from manage-
ment information systems (MIS),
and automatically generate complete
impositions from the MIS data. This can
reduce or eliminate the need to manually
create jobs. The system can automatically
add press and bindery-specific marks.
The “Mark Rules Editor” can add marks
to automatically-created layouts, and
then export the JDF data, with imposition
layout and mark flats added.
