Imposition method	Description
Cut and stack	This method is used to print, cut,
	and stack pages while preserving a
	certain order. When the cut stacks
	are piled one on top of the other, the
	entire job ends up in the desired
	order. The cut-and-stack method is
	useful primarily for high-volume
	variable information jobs.
Saddle stitch	This method prints pages in a
	manner that is suited for saddle-
	stitch binding. With this binding
	method, sheets are folded, inserted
	one inside another, and then
	stitched or stapled along the spine,
	such as in a brochure or magazine.
Perfect bound	This method prints pages in a
	manner that is suited for perfect
	binding. Perfect binding is a book-
	finishing technique in which the
	folded sheets are gathered in order
	and clamped into place. A saw
	roughens the spine edge of the
	gathered pages. Glue is then
	applied to the spine, and the cover
	of the book is affixed to the glued
	spine. This method is used for most
	books.
