A. Printed Imposition Showing the Position of the Numbered Pages.

1. The first step in binding is to fold the sheets that come from the printer. Because folding techniques vary with the binders, before the printing plates are made or planned, an imposition showing the position of the pages on one sheet of paper should be secured from the binder.

2. By a "work and turn." type of imposition, one plate is used to print both sides of

the sheet of paper. Out of one sheet of paper two groups of the same 64 pages are obtained.

B.

Folding and Numbering the Page Form lor a Boole or Pamphlet.

If a printed imposition is not available, a sheet of paper may be folded and numbered by the binder. By cutting a "V" through all the folded pages it is possible for the binder to number the pages without unfolding the sheet, as shown in the illustration. Unfolded you have the imposition of form. The numbering of the pages when folded is not necessarily in 1-2-3 order. The binder, therefore, should be the one to do the numbering.
