Select an imposition application
If you are creating an imposition from a template... | Then... |
|---|---|
That needs to be modified using an external imposition application, such as Preps. | Select Use External Imposition Application. Then, in the Select an imposition application box, select the software you want to use. |
That does not need to be modified using an external imposition application and if you have the Preps Integration option Automated Imposition. | Select Prinergy Signature Selection. |
Note: Signature Selection works in Preps 5 mode, while the rest of Prinergy works in Preps 6 mode. This means that:
- It is not possible to edit Preps 6 jobs that use come-and-go, cut-and-stack, or multi-binding styles with Signature Selection. If you try to edit an imposition that uses one of these binding styles, the Use Prinergy Signature Selection option will not be available in the Edit Imposition dialog. Instead, you will be able to select Use External Layout Imposition Applications to launch Preps 6.
- There is a difference in the way that Preps 5 and 6 display cut-and-stack and come-and-go jobs. In Preps 6, cut-and-stack jobs are shown as multiple webs, and come-and-go jobs are shown as multiple sections. In Workshop, such jobs are displayed in the Preps 6 format, while in Signature Selection, they are displayed in the Preps 5 format. This is just a difference in display: the page assignment is correct and the imposition will print correctly.
