Prepare Print Jobs More Efficiently for Production 

Preparing jobs for print production often involves complex layout and imposition decisions that can affect material usage, press efficiency, and output consistency. When these steps are handled manually, they can increase prepress workload and create more opportunities for inefficiency.

Print layout and imposition software helps simplify this process by automatically generating optimised layouts for production. Graphic Communications delivers this capability through Metrix, helping print providers minimise paper usage, improve press efficiency, and create more consistent output across short-run and high-volume jobs.

Core Print Layout and Imposition Capabilities

Automated layout generation

Print layout and imposition software automatically creates production-ready layouts, reducing the amount of manual preparation required in prepress.

Why Print Layout and Imposition Software Matters 

Reduce manual prepress work

Automating layout and imposition decisions reduces the amount of hands-on setup required before production.

Improve material utilisation 

More efficient layouts help reduce paper waste and improve substrate usage across print jobs.

Increase press efficiency 

Optimised imposition supports better use of available press capacity and helps production run more efficiently.

Support consistent output quality 

A more structured and automated approach to layout preparation helps maintain quality and consistency across jobs.

Improve productivity across job volumes 

Whether handling short runs or high-volume work, automated imposition helps streamline job setup and preparation.

How It Fits Into Your Workflow 

Print layout and imposition software operates during the job preparation stage of the workflow, after work has been entered into the system and before production begins. At this stage, jobs must be arranged in a way that supports efficient output, minimises waste, and aligns with production requirements.

By automating layout and imposition decisions, print providers can reduce manual prepress effort and prepare jobs more efficiently for the pressroom. This helps create a smoother handoff into production while improving consistency in how work is set up.
