Holistic optimization

Book Printing Process

Imp considers multiple cost centres and strikes the right balance to suggest the best layout plans for book manufacturing

Sheet size / reel width and signature selection

JDF Folding Template

Software automatically selects the best-fit sheet size or reel width from inventory. It also selects the right folding template(s) automatically.

Press and workstyle selection

Book Of One

Software automatically selects the most economical printing device and workstyle (sheetwise, work & turn/tumble, simplex or perfecting).

Signature assembly

Ultimate Imposition

Software automatically arranges the selected signatures in correct order as per binding method to make a final assembly.

The choice of press constraints the sheet sizes that you can print. The sheet size constraints the signatures that can be used. The choice of binding methods and the hardness of paper also effects the signatures that can used. The order quantity/copies effects the choice of press or press type (offset vs digital).

Imp is the only software that can solve this circular dependency problem correctly without any human intervention, each and every time for jobs of any size, page count and binding style.

“FINIDR is commercial offset printer from 25 years known for book production, growing at fast pace producing 800 of titles a month. To replace existing sheet assembly system to match our pace and quality we started a project for purchase and integration of a new software. After 6 months of evaluating range of solutions we chose Imp & Imp Flow from InSoft. With Imp we have increased productivity, eliminated manual process, automating the production reports, quicker last-minute editing of layouts.
Imp is the best imposition software for books printing.”

Parallel imposition of books

This innovative feature dramatically simplifies the complexity in creating imposition schemes where different books of similar sizes and page count are planned together in individual lanes/tracks on the same layout.

Printing of low volume books can be made economical when signatures/pages from multiple such books are ganged together on the same print sheet. But that can complicate things in the downstream operations of cutting, folding and binding if the arrangement is not well thought-out. InSoft’s ganging algorithm combines signatures of similar book jobs in individual lanes that can be easily slit/cut after printing.

Perfect Binding

1 & Only automated solution for conventional webfed offset presses

Multi Web Printing

Whether it’s a single web, multiple web or press with slitter attachment, Imp offers full automation in web imposition.

Flexible collation marks

Cut And Stack Binding

Collation marks on spine or jog are assigned automatically. Different patterns are available to match your house style.

Signature ganging to enhance profits

Book Cover Ganging

Create combo-layouts of multiple book by ganging signatures and covers to optimize press runs and material usage.

Parametric cover designer with spine thickness calculator

Book Spine Calculator

The cover designer utility allows users to define different covers – paperback, pre-laminated and jackets with automatic spine thickness calculation.

STREAMLINE FORMS IMPOSITION

NCR, Carbonless Forms, Bill Books, Receipts, Challans, Computer Stationery, Cash Rolls, Edge-Glued Form Books

InSoft’s powerful and intelligent ganging engine optimizes forms production by ganging different forms which come in 2ply, 3ply, 4ply or more by placing each ply of same form at identical position on individual layouts. The software can also gang forms in quadrants on big sheet. These smart algorithms ensures accurate and efficient finishing of forms.

The optimal estimation module offers many features that is bound to delight you and your customers alike. It empowers your sales and CRM teams, with limited technical knowledge, to generate accurate quotes. With a single click, they would be able to generate not just quotes but also the entire production routing plan in an XML or print format (job card).

Workflow Automation

Unmanned imposition

Book Printing Workflow

Imp Flow is a hot-folder based software application built on top of Imp software. It leverages the inherent intelligence of the Imp software to provide unparalleled automation in layout planning and imposition.

“Because of the XML and hot folder possibilities of InSoft, I’m able to make all the impositioning without any operator interventions. The algorithm of Imp runs at a great speed even for impositions for the digital web press where variable sheet sizes are possible. With the XML report that Imp software creates for every imposition, I am able to program the JDF connection to both the Canon presses, so even on the press the jobs run with practically no manual intervention.”
