Multi-web layouts

You can create a web press run with any number of webs, and then insert, delete, move, or copy webs as needed. Webs provide flexible options for working with sections:

  • When you duplicate a web that contains an imposition section, the imposition is duplicated, and the page numbering is auto-updated across all the webs.
  • You can also number or renumber the pages on each web individually.
  • The pages for one product section can be laid out across all the webs in a press run.
  • The printed press sheets that are cut from the web rolls can be placed on top of each other and folded to form a single signature.
  • Each web in a press run can be shared by multiple sections.
