Abstract: A method for selecting a format is disclosed by selecting a print section layout, which divides the section to be printed in a running direction and in a transversal direction of the section to be printed into adjacent units with a signature assigned to a unit such that subsequently in the running direction, longitudinal dimensions and in transversal direction, transversal dimensions of the signature and technically required border portions outside of the signature are determined, and subsequently, on the one hand, a minimum longitudinal dimension is calculated as the sum of the longitudinal dimensions of the signature and of required border regions adjoining in running direction, and, on the other hand, a minimum transversal dimension is computed as the sum of the transversal dimensions of the signature and of required border regions, adjoining in transversal direction, and wherein eventually, the print section format is selected so that a longitudinal dimension of the print section format is at least equal

Abstract: A method for arranging pages of a print product on fold sheets that are subsequently combined into an imposition scheme on print sheets and for representing the production process and the product it produces is disclosed. The print sheets are initially imprinted with the pages and then cut into the fold sheets. The fold sheets are folded and cut and collated into the print products. To make the determination of the imposition schemes more flexible, the pages are initially assigned to partitions of the print products. Pages of a print product that are included in a partition are either not separated from each other, or are only separated from each other by a last cut of the print product.

Abstract: method for visualizing a use section (6) and at least one cutoff section (14) through a program for graphic production on an output device of a computer, wherein the use section (6) has an end format of a print product, and a page of the print product can be printed in the use section (6), and the cutoff section (14) abuts to an edge (15) of the use section (6), and has an elongated shape along the edge (15). In order to facilitate an intuitive perception in particular of the cutoff section (14) of a print page 7 it is proposed that in a joint depiction of use section (6) and cutoff section (14) at least one dimension of the cutoff section (14) is shown un-proportionally enlarged relative to the use section (6).

Abstract: A method for arranging pages of a print product on fold sheets which are subsequently combined into an imposing scheme on print sheets is disclosed, wherein the print sheets are initially imprinted with the pages for producing the print product and then cut into the fold sheets, thereafter the fold sheets are folded and cut and collated into the print products, and in order to make the determination of the imposing schemes more variable initially the pages are assigned to partitions of the print products and pages of the print product included in a partition are either not separated from each other, or only separated from each other by a last cut of the print product and the partitions are disposed on the fold sheets, wherein partitions are depicted, which are hierarchically subordinated to the product components and superordinated to the pages, such that pages of the print product included in the partitions are either not separated from one another, or only separated from one another by a last cut of the pri

Abstract: A method is disclosed, implemented in a management information system for automatically computing an imposing scheme, defining for the production of a print product an association of a sequence of pages (7) of the print product with fields of a sheet, into which the sheet is divided, based on a crease sequence by lines and columns, wherein the crease sequence defines the sequence of the pages (7) associated with the fields in the print product.
