DEF

An imposition style that permits the printing of two sides of a sheet, using two different forms.

OBS

First, one image carrier prints the front of the sheet. Then the sheet is turned over lengthwise, so that the gripper edge remains in the same position and the side guide edge moves to the opposite side of the press. A second image carrier then prints the back side of the sheet, so that the two sides have different but complementary copy.
