Abstract

A method for arranging pages of a print product on fold sheets that are subsequently combined into an imposition scheme on print sheets and for representing the production process and the product it produces is disclosed. The print sheets are initially imprinted with the pages and then cut into the fold sheets. The fold sheets are folded and cut and collated into the print products. To make the determination of the imposition schemes more flexible, the pages are initially assigned to partitions of the print products. Pages of a print product that are included in a partition are either not separated from each other, or are only separated from each other by a last cut of the print product. The partitions are disposed on the fold sheets wherein the partitions are hierarchically subordinated to product components and superordinated to the pages, so that pages of a print product that are included in the partitions are either not separated from one another, or are only separated from one another by a last cut of the print product during the production process.
