Top of Page Back to Index How do I check for correct backup or imposition?
“Imposition” and “backup” refer to how a piece prints front to back. For example, you normally turn a flyer over right-to-left in order to have the back side read correctly, not upside down. It is imperative that all artwork that will print 2 sides be clearly marked “Top Side 1” and “Top Side 2”. When your online proof is sent, we will show the art in the orientation that the 2 sides will print in relation to each other. If side 2 appears upside down, that is how it will be printed on the back of side 1. We recommend that you print a copy of your online proof, and attach the two sides to each other to create a mockup for final review.
