Type: Input

Imposition configuration for a single component

Fields ​

NameTypeDefaultDescription
backColorCountIntColour units printed on the back side (0 = front only). Null falls back to the main spec's value.
bindingTypeStringBindingType raw value — SADDLE_STITCH, PERFECT_BOUND, CASE_BOUND, WIRE_BOUND, FLATWORK, FOLDED or OTHER. Decides page ordering on the sheet (saddle stitch nests, so it forces sheetwise work); omitted or unrecognised = sequential ordering.
bleedFloatBleed offset in mm (default 3.0)
finishedHeightFloat!Finished trim height in mm
finishedWidthFloat!Finished trim width in mm
finishingInferenceFinishingInputFinishing operations for this component (lamination, spot varnish, foil, die-cut, crease, …). Null falls back to the main spec's flags — set it to give a cover different finishing from its text block.
frontColorCountIntColour units printed on the front side (4 = CMYK, 5 = CMYK + spot). Null falls back to the main spec's value.
modeStringImposition mode: signature, ganging, web
preferredPrintProcessStringPreferred printing process for this component: "offset", "digital" or "inkjet". Null falls back to the main spec's value.
quantityIntPrint run quantity (enables total sheet calculation)
requiresPrintingBooleanWhether this component is printed at all (default true). Set false for blank endpapers or pre-printed inserts, which still impose but generate no print operations.
substrates[ProducibilitySubstrateInput!]!Available substrates
totalPagesInt!Content pages in this component, counting both sides of every leaf. Padded up to a multiple of the fold's pagesPerSection; the shortfall comes back as wastePages.
