What ImposeScope does
From die to press-ready file in minutes.

No more measuring gap in Illustrator, manually adjusting bleed on every copy, or guessing at flexo distortion. ImposeScope handles the layout math — you just set the spec.

Automatic N-Up Layout
Enter your die size, web width, and pitch gap — ImposeScope calculates the optimal across count, centers the layout on the web, and places every copy with perfect bleed and gap.
Flexo Distortion Correction
Enter your plate cylinder diameter and ImposeScope calculates longitudinal and lateral shrink compensation automatically. Your artwork distorts to the right dimensions when the plate wraps the drum.
Eyemark Placement
Toggle eyemarks on and set them to register left or right edge. ImposeScope places them at the correct pitch interval and offsets them away from die cut lines — no manual positioning.
Run Length Calculator
Enter your order quantity and ImposeScope tells you exactly how many impressions you need, how many linear feet of web that is, and how many rolls at your standard core size.
PPOS Work Order Pull
Open a work order from PPOS and the die size, web, across count, and quantity all pre-fill. Build the imposition for the right job — without re-entering what PPOS already knows.
PDF/X Press-Ready Export
Export the finished imposition as PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-4. Spot colors, bleed, trim box, and die line layer all included. Drop it straight on your RIP — no manual cleanup in Acrobat required.

Part of the PrePressOS Suite
Your imposition already knows the job.

A PPOS work order already has the die size, across count, web width, and quantity. ImposeScope reads it — so you're not re-entering anything. Artwork from VectorBay, preflighted in FlightDeck, imposed in ImposeScope. One pipeline.

  • Die size, web width, across count, and quantity pre-fill from the work order
  • Art from VectorBay, preflighted in FlightDeck, imposed in ImposeScope — one pipeline
  • Run length confirmed against the WO quantity before the RIP sees the file
Work Order Builder
Die size, web width, across count, and quantity pre-fill from the WO — no spec re-entry.
FlightDeck
Preflight the art file first, then hand it to ImposeScope — you know the file is clean before the N-up is built.
VectorBay
Build artwork in VectorBay with the WO spec already loaded, then send directly to ImposeScope — die, distortion, and bleed all carried over.
ProofGate
Client proof approved before the imposition is built — ImposeScope won't place an art file that hasn't been signed off.
