    I'm very pleased to see, that there is a forum about the problems of digital printing, especially about the problems of an igen...

    I have a problem with the FreeFlow Print Server and Imposition when the size of the job (148x105mm) is smaller than the trim size (500x107mm) in the layout style of the job properties.

    We could change the trim size theoretical, but this will create other problems.

    Any ideas??

    If what you are attempting to do is lay down crop marks for a custom multiple up job, just select "Crop Marks" within Advanced Settings Tab. Do not check "Trim Size Smaller Than Original". You will still be able to add "Gutter Margin".
    Good luck

    What I forgot to tell is, that we are printing on a papersize 500x350mm and I only want to have the job (size 148x105) three times on the paper. Please don't ask why...

    i think what hes doing is trying to print multiple up, and changing the piece to an odd trim size, that does not match the file.


    I have not found a way around that.... :( I usually get it because I set the trim size on the FF backwards.. then flip it around.

    I try to do that when doing an oversized proof...say a 14.5x22 proof on 11x17 paper-like theres an address assembly someone wants to check, not the whole sheet.


    I sometimes have to go back to the pdf and adjust it.....
