Abstract
A digital impositioning apparatus performs impositioning using file output of electronic data instead of film output. An impositioning portion creates imposition data for each page based on arrangement information. Here, in order to conform to the type of a printer , the impositioning portion rewrites as required the arrangement information by an instruction from a terminal to create suitable imposition data. A joining portion positions the above imposition data so as to be optimally arranged on a printing plate. This positioning can be performed as being checked on a screen of the terminal . The print information adding portion reads from outside and arranges accessories required for printing. A dot generating portion converts a rasterized file after the above data processing from raster style data for each page to dot data organizing a plurality of pages, in consideration of dot gain adjustment from a control peroration . Thus, it is possible to achieve labor savings in Plate Making/Printing process as well as improvement in printing accuracy.
