What is an Imposition? and what is meant by head to head? What is a double cut?
Imposition is a printing term meaning ‘layed out ready for printing’. CD booklet artwork must be imposed a certain way so that it’s ready for the printing press. The more pages a booklet has, the more complicated the imposition will be. Head to head is a way in which pages are imposed so that they can be printed on both sides easily and economically. It refers to how certain pages are layed out upside down, above others – so that both pages ‘heads are touching’. The imposition will change depending on the number of pages the booklet has. A double cut refers to the space between separate pages in an imposition. Usually a double cut will be either 5 or 10 mm. Check our art specs for details.
