Right: Imposition for a typical sixteen-page section. Eight pages are printed on one side; the paper is then turned and printed again on the other side. In practice, if your document is short enough, a single plate can be made showing both sides of all the pages. This is printed on one sides of the paper, which is then turned and printed with the same image on the other side. Cutting the sheets in half results in two identival stacks of finished pages, which are folded and trimmed as normal to make up the publication.
