Imposition Modes

PressCal supports multiple imposition modes: Work & Turn, Work & Tumble, Sheetwise, Cut & Stack, and Gang Run. Each mode is selected automatically based on the product type, or you can set it manually.

Automatic imposition optimises sheet usage to minimise paper waste. You can see a visual preview of the layout on the canvas and adjust trim margins.

For complex jobs (multi-page, bi-fold, tri-fold), the calculator accounts for folding patterns and correctly computes pages per press sheet.
