Imposition editor for making printed sheets

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing printed matter by means of a printing press (7), having a computer (6), a display screen (1) and an input device (8). The invention is characterized in that the first page ( 4 ) to be printed is arranged on the display screen ( 1 ) by means of the input device ( 8 ) by means of a drag-and-drop method at the corners of the sheet ( 3 ) predetermined by the computer ( 6 ). the computer (6) arranges the edges of the first page (4) to be printed and the edges of the other pages (4) to be printed, which are predetermined by the computer (6), on a common line; the computer (6) arranges the other pages to be printed (4) The printed pages (4) are only arranged beside the positioned pages (4) to be printed as the permitted positions; the computer (6) marks (5) the permitted positions for other to-be-printed pages (4) on the display screen (1). Display; after all the pages (4) to be printed are positioned, the sheet (3) with the pages (4) to be printed is transferred to the printing press (7) and processed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for producing printed matter by means of a printing press having a computer, a display screen and an input device. Background technique [0002] Before a print job can be processed on a printing press, the print job must be ready to be processed on the printing press. This is especially the case when the print job has several pages or if several print jobs are to be arranged on one sheet. In order to utilize the available printing material surface as optimally as possible in a sheet printing press, as few areas as possible should be left free on the sheet to be printed. Furthermore, it should be taken into consideration that a plurality of pages should be arranged on the sheet to be printed in such a way that they can then be cut particularly easily and efficiently in order to produce the final printed product. The arrangement of pages on sheets for a printing press (whether offset or digital) is often referred to as...

Problems solved by technology

However, the problem here is that the operators generally lack experience in how to arrange the pages optimally: on the one hand, the pages are covered as optimally as possible by the pages, and on the other hand, these pages can then be replaced without problems. Cutting to complete the production of prints

[0004] However, this editing software disclosed by the prior art cannot help the operator know how to arrange these pages when the pages are impositioned: on the one hand, arrange as many pages as possible on the sheet, and on the other hand, can realize cutting without any damage. problem-free postprocessing
