Document Summary
Premedia ii - midterm review sheet. Image assembly: refers to placing the images (pages) to be printed in the correct position. There are several reasons why image assembly is important. It ensures a correlation between the image area on plate and the position of the paper. It can maximize the printable area of the paper. It enables multi- page jobs to be properly imposed. A standard offset press sheet is usually wider than it is tall (landscape). Not all of the sheet can be printed on. There cannot be any image area in this space. Why: paper is the most costly consumable in printing. Maximizing press sheets keeps costs down and shortens press runs: press run time is reduced. The sheet size for the job is 19. Max sheet: 19 x 25. Min sheet 18. 5 x 22. 5. Note that plate gripper is not part of min or max sheet size!
