imposition?

Question

define imposition

Answer 1

Imposition is the act of forcing or establishing something, such as a tax, law, or burden. It could also mean the arrangement or placement of items, such as articles or ads for printing. Imposition can also mean deception.

Answer 2

Imposition is a term used in the printing industry. Print operators will print books using large sheets of paper which will be folded later. This allows for faster printing, simplified binding and lower production costs. Imposition is the process of arranging pages correctly prior to printing so that they fold in the correct order. To someone unfamiliar with the imposition process, the pages may seem to be arranged randomly; but after printing, the paper is folded, bound and trimmed. If correctly imposed, the pages should all appear in the correct orientation and readable sequence.
