Just for giggles......what imposition software do you all use or recommend? We are a small commercial printer and have one seat of Dynastrip as our imposition software for our offset press needs. Our offset press is a Komori Lithrone 28 (largest sheet size being 20x28").
We print mostly flat work, saddle-stitched books, and a few perfect bound books on the offset end of our production, besides the digital presses that we also run a wide variety of jobs on.
I use a Mac Pro with version 10.14.6

Ooops - sorry Joe. I thought everything I read was from Tracy. I appreciate your help also!

Thru updates and company changes we longer have Preps. (Boo hiss)

Thanks so much for your input Tracy. I'll pass the info up the line to the InDesign pros. (I came from the darkroom days so they don't allow me to play with the big kids' toys.)  :tantrum2:

No gutters and crops on each individual page is what the customer wanted

I miss Preps! Due to updates/changes is how I ended up being a Dyna monkey.  :monkeyfight:

Hello!  :hello:

I've been lurking around here off and on for years and have read some good stuff. More importantly I found that our little prepress dept also has the same idiotic things thrown at them which has given us all a nice crust of humor as a protective shield.

Anywhooo - I can't find anything, anywhere on this subject so I thought I'd put on my big girl panties and ask my fellow shipmates.  :ondeck:

My situation is this: we were recently asked to lay out several thousand individual labels 1 up each on 52"x70" sheet size, and another bunch on a 52"x90" sheet. The final result being pdfs to send back to the customer for them to print on their printer. The labels were various sizes but only one size was to be placed per sheet size. We were given one pdf but sent them thru our workflow to get individual pdfs for the layout.

The bottom line question is this: Is there a way in Dynastrip to get a template to automatically number 1 thru "whatever" if there is no binding style applied? Key word being "automatically".....just the same as reflowing a saddlestitched or perfect bound book to get the right amount of signatures and correct pagination with just the touch of a button.

Maybe I'm missing something that seems so basic but I've given up looking. OR if Dyna can't do it, does anyone have a suggestion as to how to create these layouts that are 100s up? A coworker found another way using a vdp file (don't ask me to explain it, but she said it's rather involved), but I was hoping to use our imposition software and take the burden off of her.

Thanks for hearing me out  :swing:
