Excerpt from Imposition: A Hand Book for Printers
Experience in The Inland Printer Technical School has shown the necessity for a clearer and more simple presenta' tion of the fundamental principles underlying the subject of imposition than has heretofore been available. What is needed by the great majority of printers is not a system of numerous diagrams for eighteen, twenty, thirty-six and forty-page forms and others of this kind that are but rarely used, but a thorough explanation of the forms that may be termed as regular, both for hand and machine folding.
In this work the chief aim has been to bring the subject down to the basis of the beginner. To this end, more atten tion has been given to the smaller forms than is usually the case, and numerous diagrams are presented in-the hope that they may materially aid in making the text more clear.
The forms for folding machines are gathered together in one department, separate from the forms for hand folding. This is done in order to avoid confusion.
No attempt has been made to revolutionize present methods of imposition or present ideas hitherto unknown. Other treatises on the subject have covered the ground thoroughly, but often in a manner confusing to the beginner. It' is to present the fundamental principles of this subject in a clear and perhaps new manner that this work is undertaken.
