Four Pees Café - The wonderfully confusing world of creating imposed print sheets

Imposition, ganging, (true shape) nesting, step-and-repeat, sheet optimization… All of those terms are used by people when they talk about generating efficient print sheets. But often different people use the same terminology for different processes. And it’s even less clear which software you should use to solve what problems efficiently.

In this Four Pees Café, David van Driessche and Michiel Van den Saffele dive into the terminology first of all, and then take a look at some of the different types of applications out there.
