One would assume digital, but alas, no. It'll be offset on 25x38. My brain is kind of exploding.

I do not know of any calculator out there, but if I were doing that job, I'd figure out which card has the lowest quantity and start with it as a 1-up and work the other quantities around it... however, with automation being what it is, I might be inclined to just have 22 imposed files and call it a day. A good bindery guy can slipsheet and batch cut the stack and separate when boxing.

I presume this is digital and not offset.

I have 22 different cards with different quantities (ranging from 1500 to 14,000. I can get 16-up on a sheet. Is there a best way to calculate this so I can find the most efficient way to gang for the least amount of runs?
I've been doing prepress forever but this is a new problem for me. Any assistance or advice would be muchly appreciated.

Yeah, took me a bit to figure that out. Doesn't let you export anything...only for on-screen viewing for estimators to quickly see how many will fit on a press sheet.

Looks like it will work with digital.

I just got the license key, and fargin work got in the way of checking it out.

Looks pretty nice though.

Qoppa PDF Studio Pro ($65) has that and many other cool options that have saved me.

Reversing pages is easy.

It has a manual, but good Imposition module too

I'm doing this on windows10. I don't think I changed that much from default so I'll just compare to my comrade's prefs when I get it updated. Thanks!
