Page sets can be used in increasingly complex ways to help control page assignment and the use of multiple imposition plans. This topic describes three strategies for controlling assignments.
One page set and one imposition plan
In a basic example one page set is linked to one imposition plan. Prinergy will automatically create a page set when the imposition plan is added to a job. The page set created contains the same number of page positions as the imposition plan. In this example, it is not necessary for you to know how to manipulate page sets in any way.
One page set for each imposition plan
In a slightly more advanced scenario you can use page sets to name page positions. This is useful for jobs that contain multiple imposition plans. In this scenario, one page set is still linked to only one imposition plan, but more than one imposition plan is registered. By naming the page sets, page assignment is easier because you can tell by the position name which page to put there. For example, if there is one imposition plan for covers and one imposition plan for body pages, you can set a prefix of C for the page positions in the page set linked to the covers imposition plan and a prefix of B for the page positions in the page set linked to the body imposition plan.
Naming Page Sets (B)
One page set with multiple imposition plans
For advanced operations, you can link one page set to more than one imposition plan. This is useful for situations where you want to print the same job on different presses that require different imposition plans or when you make a last-minute press change. To link a page set to multiple imposition plans, you select the existing page set when adding imposition plans to the job.
