Hello community, I have a dude, how can I make this imposition?
I'm using preps 8.3
Are you wanting a template or a fold pattern?

hi Joe
I'm waiting a fold pattern
I'm not great with fold patterns but it looks like what is supplied with Preps there is not an existing fold pattern that will layout the pages in that configuration so I would start with one of the 64 page JDF fold patterns and get it in that orientation and then renumber the pages and save as a new custom fold pattern.
There's a lot of questions here ... but as a start I'd look at how P2 could face P3?
Honestly, go "old school" hit PRINT then try to fold it, over write the pages on this layout and update it then print it again to confirm it works.
I did it a few weeks back for a weird display carton my brain just couldn't grasp ... if it works, it works!
Looks like a giant skinny work & turn, not sure how this could possibly be folded as a single sheet.
The paper thickness would make the center spreads push out way too much.
It would definitely help if he explained what he is trying to create.

Yeah, looks like multiple signatures jammed together.
Might be a "come and go" layout?
the only way I can see that working is as a work and tumble, gripped to either left or right side of sheet.
would then need each (section) cut to 8 pages along the thick black gutters and becomes a traditional 64 pg, 8 sections saddle stitch.
knowing the page size might also help a little, if they are A4 then I don't know of any press anywhere that could print that sheet
Looks like it may be a cut and stack. Not sure if those are webs or signatures.
Where I worked we could do a 64 page double parallel press run...1 press run but it would deliver as 2 separate 32 page sections but our folders wouldn't work with that particle layout.
-Page Size 148x210mm (A5)

hi Mr, what preps version are you using?
I could do it a similar imposition using preps 7.13 (2 year ago)
but on house printing use preps 9
If you do an imposition in Preps 7 you can do it preps 9. Not a whole lot has changed between the Preps versions.
So on that press is that 8 separate press runs?

welcome to latin america ;)
The impo that was posted above can be created in Preps 9. I don't have Preps at home but it is a simple imposition.

maybe you could see it here

The only difference between the preps 7 and preps 9 video is that Preps 7 automatically assign the first sheet and A1,A16 and sheet 2 A15,A2 etc....while Preps 9 assigned sheet 1 as A1,A2, sheet 2 as A3,A4 etc. In Preps 9 you can change them by clicking the first sheet in the bottom panel and over in the right hand column click the Signature Information button and change A1,A2 to A1,A16, sheet 2 change it from A3,A4 to A15,A2 and so on. I have never seen Preps auto assign them the way yours did in Preps 7. For me they were always assigned as A1,A2, and A3,A4 etc....
After I manually change the sheets assignments in Preps 9 I now have this...in Preps 9.
