Abstract: A computer-implemented method of automatically optimizing a print production process, comprising the operations of: receiving a printed matter specification, comprising data regarding at least one printed matter, as input data from a remote device; and determining an optimized print production specification on basis of the printed matter specification and print production resources data; wherein the operation of determining an optimized print production specification comprises: fetching print production resources data, comprising printing press data regarding at least one available printing press; determining all possible signatures by means of the printed matter specification; determining, for each printing press, all possible print sheet sizes and print areas, by means of the printing press data; determining all possible impositions by means of at least the signatures and the print areas; and determining an optimized production specification by means of at least the impositions, the print areas, and at l
