Abstract
Disclosed herein is a planning and impositioning technique for industrial printing orders that evaluates and ranks potential planning and impositioning schemes for a given print order based on available printing apparatus, media, and die-cutter specifications. The printing schemes make use non-die cutter operations to subdivide a media sheet, followed by a series of die-cutter operations each subdivision to take advantage of industrial printer efficiency. This printing operation is enabled by planning and impositioning phases that generate print instructions allows a change in media size from printer apparatus to dies. Specifically, during the planning phase of the print order, a printer apparatus and a die or set of dies are selected where the media size used by the printer apparatus is larger than the die(s) is/are designed for.
