Investigating Integrated Imposition

Initially, wide-format ink-jet printers produced only single-sided imposition proofs. Inaccuracies in the feed mechanisms of "off-the-shelf" wide-format printers made them unable to assure proper registration and alignment from the front to the back of the proof.

In order to create a fully imposed flat, users resorted to pasting two sheets back to back. Recently, however, several vendors have refined these mechanisms, making double-sided digital imposition proofing a reality.
